<P STYLE="margin: 0px 0px 32px; padding: 0px; font-size: 17px; line-height: 31px; color: #191919; font-family: Copernicus, Georgia, serif;">Nicaragua and Venezuela have continued to regress into political and social repression, further abandoning the pretense of democracy and resorting instead to violations of human rights and assaults on civil society actors. President Daniel Ortega and President Nicolás Maduro have consolidated control over their countries' media, military, and police forces, co-opting established institutions of government--or inventing new ones--to suit their needs and financially benefit their allies. In response, citizens of both countries are mobilizing more determined opposition in an effort to recover the freedoms they deserve. </P>
