On the other hand, the only formidable opponent to the regime may provide more of a challenge than the government cares to see. Arturo Cruz, 54, a former Sandinistation parties. The government leadership has tried to discredit Cruz in the past. Nonetheless, after considerable debate, Interior Minister Tomas Borge grudgingly announced last week that Cruz would be allowed to return to Nicaragua from self-imposed exile in Washington, D.C., and could present himself as a presidential candidate.
