The Sandinista Renovation Movement (''Movimiento de Renovación Sandinista'' or MRS, in Spanish) is a Nicaraguan political party founded by dissidents of the Sandinista National Liberation Front on May 18, 1995, on Augusto César Sandino's 100th anniversary. Sandino's legacy was claimed by the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), which overthrew the Somoza dictatorship in 1979 and the MRS took Sandino's hat as a symbol in their new flag. One of the founding leaders of MRS was Sergio Ramirez, Nicaragua's vice-president from 1985 to 1990 under the Sandinistas government. Ramirez ran as the MRS presidential candidate in the 1996 elections. The MRS got 1.33% of the votes and got 1 seat (out of 91) in the Nicaraguan Parliament. Other party leaders included former Sandinistas Herty Lewites and Dora María Téllez.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Interview with Herty Lewites )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Dora María Téllez )〕 In June 2008, the party was disqualified from running candidates in elections, along with the Conservative Party, but it still participates in coalitions with other parties. ==Alliance with the FSLN== In the 2001 presidential elections, as well as in the 2000 and 2004 municipal elections, the MRS joined forces with the FSLN. Though it lost the presidential elections in 2001, the alliance won the majority of the municipalities in the municipal elections, including Managua, the capital, and almost every major city in the country. For the 2006 elections, the MRS presented Herty Lewites, the mayor of Managua (2000-2004), as their presidential candidate in the FSLN's internal elections. Soon after, Lewites and his followers were expelled from the FSLN. On June 11, 2008, the MRS was stripped of its legal status by the Supreme Electoral Council of Nicaragua on the grounds that it had failed to comply with various requirements of the electoral law. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sandinista Renovation Movement」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
