Sandinista National Assembly

The Sandinista National Assembly is Nicaragua’s legislative branch, responsible for making laws, approving government budgets, and overseeing government actions. It is composed of elected representatives who represent various political parties, with the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), a major political party, historically holding significant influence. The Assembly plays a key role in shaping national policies and ensuring governance aligns with the constitution. Its function is similar to parliaments in other democratic systems, serving as a forum for debate, legislation, and oversight within Nicaragua's political framework.
