**Peru urges halt to Ortega’s constitutional reforms to prevent Nicaragua’s consolidation of a dictatorship**
The Peruvian government has expressed concern over a constitutional reform that was approved by Nicaragua’s National Assembly during its first legislative session. Peru’s officials have called for the reforms to be stopped, warning that they could enable President Daniel Ortega to further consolidate power and transform Nicaragua into a dictatorship.
The reform, which was passed by the National Assembly, is part of a broader effort by Ortega’s administration to strengthen executive authority. Peru’s statement highlights fears that the changes could erode democratic institutions and undermine civil liberties in Nicaragua.
The call for restraint was reported by the news outlet *Altavoz*, which first published the statement.
