Partido Conservador de Nicaragua
The Partido Conservador de Nicaragua (PCN) is a conservative political party in Nicaragua .
Partido Legitimista
Its predecessor party, the Partido Legitimista (PL), was the oldest party in Nicaragua.
It was founded around 1821 with the independence of the Capitanate of Guatemala from Spain in Granada, among others by Pedro José Chamorro Argüello (1782-1824), the father of Fruto Chamorro Pérez . As with almost all Latin American states, there was a conflict in Nicaragua between conservative independence winners, the oligarchs who, as former officials of the crown, had appropriated the latifundia they administered, the clergy and, on the other hand, dynamic capitalists who wanted to abolish the existing privileges . The latifundists and the clergy organized themselves in the Partido Legitimista , while the merchants formed the Partido Democrático . The conflicts, some of which were carried out militarily, largely adhered to the dichotomy of liberal- conservative and not to the state borders that exist today . From 1827 to 1857 these conflicts were armed with varying degrees of intensity.
Partido Republicano
In 1844, León was attacked in the Guerra de Malespín by troops from El Salvador under the conservative Francisco Malespín and Granda . Sandoval signed a peace treaty with the governments of Honduras and El Salvador. The Partido Legitimista allied with Salvadoran and Honduran troops Partido Republicano and made Jose Leon Sandoval for Supremo Director . He used the two-year mandate from 1845 to 1847 and moved the seat of government from the stronghold of the Partido Democrático , León, to the stronghold of the Partido Republicano , Granada . The Partido Democrático then formed a counter-government in León and concluded a contract with the US military service provider Byron Cole in October 1854 for the delivery of 200 men, led by William Walker in June 1855 . Under José Dolores Estrada Vado , the mercenaries in the Guerra Nacional were defeated on September 14, 1856, after which the Partido Democrático was politically dead.
Partido Conservador de Nicaragua
From 1857 to 1893 the Partido Conservador de Nicaragua was a state party. Within the Partido Conservador de Nicaragua , the Progresistas fought the Iglesieros . The Progresista Joaquín Zavala had the Jesuits deported from Nicaragua in 1881 and had Ejidos expropriated, which led to the Cañada uprising . The end of the rule of the Partido Conservador de Nicaragua in 1893 was heralded by an uprising of the Progresista current under Joaquín Zavala and José Santos Zelaya consistently used the opportunity and took power with the Partido Liberal . On January 1, 1917, the chairman of the Partido Conservador de Nicaragua , Emiliano Chamorro Vargas, became president in the wake of the US military intervention in Nicaragua from 1909 to 1925 .
Partido Conservador Republicano
1918 Bartolomé Martínez González was elected vice-president for the candidacy of Diego Manuel Chamorro Bolaños in party elections of the Partido Conservador . Diego Manuel Chamorro was elected in 1920 and with him Martínez took office as Vice President on January 1, 1921. After Diego Manuel Chamorro's death on October 12, 1923, he became constitutional president. A pact between conservatives and liberals brought Martinez into conflict with the party leader of the Partido Conservador , Emiliano Chamorro Vargas. Bartolomé broke with the chairman of the Partido Conservador , Chamorro Vargas and founded the Partido Conservador Republicano . The presidential candidate of the Partido Conservador Republicano José Carlos Solórzano Gutiérrez was elected president in the 1925 elections. Chamorro Vargas also ran, but did not win the majority of the vote.
Pacto de los Generales
The US military intervention in Nicaragua 1926–1933 brought the Somoza clan to power. The chairman of the Partido Conservador Emiliano Chamorro Vargas was sent by the Somoza clan as an ambassador to a number of European countries. According to the history of the Partido Conservador , he was its chairman in exile . In 1950 he arranged himself and the Partido Conservador in the Pacto de los Generales with the regime of Anastasio Somoza García . The Oligarchy of the Partido Conservador was granted a certain number of seats in both legislative chambers by the Somoza clan.
Opposition party to somozism
In 1966 the Partido Conservador de Nicaragua was a key party in the alliance of five opposition parties, the Unión Nacional Opositora (1966) (UNO), against the dictatorship of the Somoza clan. The party also nominated the alliance's candidate, Fernando Aguero Rocha , who ran against Anastasio Somoza Debayle .
Pedro Chamorro , editor of the newspaper La Prensa , was the coordinator of the UN and did the public relations . On January 22, 1967, the massacre took place on Avenida Roosevelt . Pedro Chamorro was imprisoned until March 4, 1967. On March 28, 1967, Aguero signed a pact with Somoza in the Teatro Rubén Darío , he became a member of the Junta Nacional de Gobierno (JNG) from May 1, 1972 to December 1, 1974 and allowed Anastasio Somoza Debayle to be re-elected as president, which is why he is viewed as a traitor in his Partido Conservador de Nicaragua .
When Pedro Chamorro was being considered by the Jimmy Carter government as the future president of Nicaragua, Anastasio Somoza Debayle had him - who had visited the Instituto Pedagógico La Salle de Managua - murdered on January 10, 1978.
The Partido Conservador de Nicaragua took part in the 1990 elections . The presidential candidate of the Unión Nacional Opositora (1989) , an electoral alliance, was Violeta Barrios de Chamorro from the Partido Conservador de Nicaragua , which was elected. In the parliamentary elections, the Partido Conservador de Nicaragua received the most votes after the FSLN and the PLC.
In the parliamentary elections on November 4, 2001, the Partido Conservador de Nicaragua received two percent of the vote, which corresponded to two of the 90 seats in parliament. The presidential candidate received one percent of the vote. With Daniel Ortega's turn to Miguel Obando Bravo , the Partido Conservador de Nicaragua lost its unique selling point as a clerical party. On June 11, 2008, the Supreme Electoral Council stripped the Movimiento de Renovación Sandinista and the Partido Conservador de Nicaragua from being a legal entity .
