From inside and outside Nicaragua, it was denounced that the presidential elections did not have sufficient democratic guarantees, after most of the opposition candidates were arrested or went into exile abroad.
Ortega took office a day after the new National Assembly was installed, in which the ruling party controls 75 of the 91 seats.
A few hours before taking office on Monday, the European Union announced a new round of sanctions against two of Ortega's children and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo.

In its announcement of the sanctions, the EU spoke of "an effort to undermine democracy" by those sanctioned.
Already in November 2021, the Organization of American States (OAS) had issued a declaration, signed by 25 of the 34 member countries of the organization, rejecting Ortega's fourth consecutive election after warning that the elections "were not free, fair. nor transparent and they do not have democratic legitimacy."
