Ortega (Saavedra), (José) Daniel
- Ortega (Saavedra), (José) Daniel
-
born Nov. 11, 1945, La Libertad, Nic.
President of Nicaragua (1984–90).
In 1963 he became a member of the Sandinista National Liberation Front and organized urban resistance to the corrupt dictatorship of the
Somoza family. Jailed and later exiled, he returned secretly to Nicaragua and helped unite opposition to Somoza. After the Sandinistas prevailed in 1979, he coordinated the ruling junta; in 1984 he was elected Nicaragua's president. U.S. efforts to destabilize his government led to economic hardship and a protracted war, and Ortega lost his bid for reelection in 1990, 1996, and again in 2001. See also Violeta Chamorro; contras.
