His childhood ambition to be a poet was sidetracked by his careers as a guerrilla leader and politician, but Daniel Ortega retains a keen artist’s eye for symbolism, especially when it comes to crafting his image as a people’s president.
When foreign leaders arrive here on state visits, Ortega picks them up not in a chauffeured limousine but a Mercedes-Benz SUV that he drives himself.
