Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega, is violating the constitution by giving an official charge to his wife and kids.

During a visit to Costa Rica, this past January, Ortega named his wife Rosario Murillo "foreign minister", his daughters as special advisers and his son went holding a ministerial post.

This is just a clear example of how nepotism works during Ortega's Sandinista government. Since he was elected for the second time in 2007, Ortega has named his wife several times with different charges, as spokeswomen and chief of Communication and Citizenship Council ,  which allowes her to control several media outlets.

Also, in Nicaragua's news paper there are several poitings against Ortega's way of leading his governent.

Past January, La Prensa published that Ortega had named a Puerto Rican as a an Advisor.
