Mr Ortega, of the left-wing Sandinista movement, is insouciantly presiding over an attempt to rig his country's democracy by excluding parties opposed to him.For this, he can count on the Supreme Electoral Council (CSE), the supposedly independent electoral authority over which he has great influence.
Research by the Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) on 16 fast food brands suggests the practice is riddled with inaccuracies or misinformation.
The O-level/CSE system was divisive and dumped millions of young people into a second division from which they couldn't escape, providing a fixed limit on the expectations of those young people who were saddled with having to sit the CSE.
Whilst in office he saw the merging of the O-level and CSE exams.
It sounds rather like the old CSE.
In 2012, Delhi's prestigious Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) tested Singrauli's water supplies, along with fish from local reservoirs, human blood and hair samples.
There is even a Bollywood film, "Corporate", inspired by CSE's cola battles.Ms Narain, however, is adamant that CSE is not opposed to foreign investment, economic liberalisation or private entrepreneurship.
The only new substance in the story was that "less able" children were to be barred from sitting the papers, siphoned off to something more like the old CSE, to which – it was plain – no thought had been given.
Both are appealing, but appear to have been ruled out of municipal elections due in November.The CSE may have been applying the letter of the law, but its decision looks arbitrary: several other small parties whose registration had similar flaws remain on the ballot.
Mr Ramadoss was in the process of (ever so politely) rubbishing a controversial piece of work by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), Ms Narain's research and lobbying group, based in Delhi.
While badmouthing each other in public, they have banded together to control bodies such as the CSE and the supreme court.
