In order to illustrate this process, the political trajectories of four activists will be presented: how they got involved in the Sandinista movement, what knowledge and skills they acquired, and how they applied these skills to mobilize specific social groups according to the FSLN’s strategic objectives. Thus, the paper aims to contribute to the debate on the factors that explain the consolidation of the FSLN’s position after 1990 in the Nicaraguan political system, which cannot be reduced to its leaders’ ability to negotiate the spaces of institutional power with other political forces.
