In Central America, democracy and peacebuilding processes are currently threatened. Researchers and civil society representatives discussed potential pathways out of the crisis in a three-day workshop at the University of Costa Rica in San José, organised by GIGA.

There are strong rumors about the negotiated release of bishop Rolando Álvarez, one of Nicaraguas most prominent political prisoners. GIGA researcher Désirée Reder discusses the questions: What is known about the content of these negotiations? Why might he not accept the conditions of his release? Why would the regime release him now?

After the release of 222 political prisoners in Nicaragua, Désirée Reder contextualises this event in the context of the regime’s repressive path since 2018.

Daniel Ortega rules Nicaragua with a firm hand. Critics hardly have a voice. Instead of fighting for freedom, the dictator's agenda is centred on maintaining power - with laws that he has copied from Putin.

Wie genau also lernen autokratische Herrscher voneinander? Und wie gefährlich ist das? Darüber diskutiert Host Andrea Sellmann mit GIGA-Forscherin Désirée Reder und Elisabeth Maigler Kluesserath, die für die Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung mit Regimekritikern im Exil in Kontakt steht.
