The initiative has prompted US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to react. On Wednesday, he urged allies to stop trading with Nicaragua.
-By rewriting the country's constitution, they are expanding their illegitimate rule and depriving Nicaraguans of free and fair elections, Rubio said.
The threat from Russia
Danish PET sounds the alarm: Russia is preparing sabotage
By Daniel Persson
Published: Today 22.10
Both the national and military intelligence services in Denmark are sounding the alarm about advanced sabotage plans from Russia in our western neighbor, writes Berlingske.
According to the authorities, Russia has been spying on a number of important Danish activities for a long time, with links to the country's arms support for Ukraine. The spying tasks have been carried out by ordinary Danish citizens who were recruited online to take pictures or video of sensitive facilities.
- This is not a warning that this might come to Denmark one day. We are already seeing the planning now, very concretely, says Emil Græsholm, head of counterintelligence at PET, Denmark's equivalent of Säpo.
According to Græsholm, the authorities do not yet know what Russia might do with the information, but in light of what has happened in similar acts in Italy and Bulgaria, he mentions arson as a possible possibility.

Trump: Happy that Harry and Meghan have left the US
The news that Prince Harry and Meghan Sussex (formerly Markle) plan to return to the UK pleases Donald Trump.
– I'm happy. I'm not a fan of them, says the US president.
Six years after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex left their roles in the British court and moved to the US, British media reported in August that they were moving back. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not resume their royal roles, but King Charles is said to have welcomed the opportunity to see his youngest son more often – which Trump cannot understand.
– Maybe I'm different. I wouldn't have taken him back if I had been part of the royal family, he says.
– I think they showed great disrespect to the royal family. I didn't like the way she acted. I think she was terribly disrespectful to the Queen and King Charles.
