Nicaraguan social Christians, represented by the Humanist Christian Party (PHSC), issued a call for unity among opposition forces aimed at removing President Daniel Ortega from power, who has been in office since 2007. They drew parallels to the recent events in Venezuela involving the U.S. military actions against President Nicolás Maduro, suggesting that such interventions could inspire similar efforts against Ortega in Nicaragua. The PHSC believes that unified action is essential in the face of Ortega's governance, which they describe as authoritarian.

The PHSC is part of the Organization of Christian Democratic International of America (ODCA), and their call to action reflects a growing unrest within Nicaragua regarding Ortega's administration. Citing instances like the U.S. pressures on Cuba to pursue democracy and sanctions against Ortega's regime, the PHSC sees a potential shift in international dynamics that could favor a change in leadership within Nicaragua. They are appealing not only to political allies but also to the international community to support their vision for a democratic Nicaragua.

The push for unity among opposition forces signifies broader political ambitions, especially as Nicaragua faces ongoing economic and social challenges under Ortega’s rule. The PHSC’s appeal is an invitation for various factions within the opposition to collaborate, potentially leading to a unification of strategies to foster change in Nicaragua’s political landscape. However, the success of such a coalition remains uncertain amid deep-rooted divisions and the resilience of Ortega’s support base.
