Businesses are showing contempt for the regulation which requires Government approval of the appointment of senior management at telephone and Internet companies.
The measure was issued by Telcor, the entity which regulates telecommunications in Nicaragua, informing intercommunications companies that "as of March 22 they had 30 days to send updated information about their managerial, executive, security and computing staff and information about new contracts to be approved by the institution. "
With 56.5% of the voters intending to support him, according to a poll by M & R Consultants, President Daniel Ortega, is looking as the winner of the presidential election of November 6, 2011.
These numbers, which come from from a survey taken in June, would allow the current president, Daniel Ortega, to win the election in the first round and "would open the door for complete control of their political party in the National Assembly", reported Laprensa.com.ni.
The strike in the National Assembly continues 13 days before municipal elections, causing a loss of $20 million loan from the IDB.
The local media and experts have warned that said strike in the Assembly will cause delays in the passage of important laws and beneficial international loans. The General Budget for 2009 has not been approved either.
The non-ratification of the $20 million loan from the IDB meant that the funds were lost causing a negative impact on the national economy.
Lawmaker Guillermo Osorno Molina expressed his complete opposition to the initiative, making it impossible to get the 47 votes that are needed.
Osorno, president of the Nicaraguan Christian Walk (CCN) party, argued that the Legislative Branch does not have the authority to cancel municipal elections.

The country continues to be divided after municipal elections. Some are claiming victory, others are alleging fraud.
