Sandinista policies
The Sandinista policies, implemented in Nicaragua after they overthrew the Somoza dictatorship in 1979, focused on social justice and equality. They aimed to improve education, healthcare, and land ownership for the poor, while promoting literacy and women's rights. The government also supported socialist ideas, nationalized key industries, and built programs to reduce poverty. However, these policies faced resistance and conflict with opposition groups and neighboring countries, leading to internal struggles and economic challenges. Overall, the Sandinista approach sought to create a more equitable society through social programs and reforms rooted in socialist principles.
