¡Yo Soy La Mujer del Comandante!: Rosario Murillo La Eternamente Leal / I Am the Commander's Wife! [Spanish]

By Carlos Salinas Maldonado

"He estado por mucho tiempo bajo la sombra de Daniel, sometida a los rigores del gobierno, sumisa, atada, enclaustrada en unos requerimientos asfixiantes dictados por el poder. No, yo ya no soy esa Rosario".

Rosario Murillo Zambrana, aquella poeta combativa de los a?os de la malograda Revoluci?n sandinista es, ahora, la mujer de la que depende en parte el poder de Daniel Ortega, viejo guerrillero devenido en dictador. M?stica, ind?mita, brutal, violenta, este relato cuenta la transformaci?n de una mujer que anhelaba el amor, que siempre ha cre?do en el poder de la magia, en un personaje grotesco, enfermo de poder

El relato se basa en largas entrevistas de Carlos Salinas Maldonado, sus apuntes tras a?os de seguir al personaje, observarlo, escucharlo, escribir sobre Rosario Murillo. Tambi?n se sostiene en la denuncia de su hija, Zoilam?rica Narv?ez, contra Daniel Ortega por violaci?n. Recoge informaci?n de fuentes cercanas en su momento a Murillo, que han pedido el anonimato.

Los hechos son reales, aunque la protagonista parezca emerger de la mejor ficci?n literaria.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"I have been under Daniel's shadow for a long time, subjected to a rigorous government, submissive, tied, cloistered in suffocating requirements dictated by power. No, I am no longer that Rosario."

Rosario Murillo Zambrana, the militant poet from the years of the unsuccessful National Sandinista Revolution, is now the woman on whom Daniel Ortega's power, an old guerrilla fighter turned dictator, partly depends. Mystical, untamed, brutal, and violent, this story narrates the transformation of a woman who yearned for love and who has always believed in magic into a grotesque character, blinded by power.

This narrative is based on Carlos Salinas Maldonado's long interviews, his notes after years of
following Rosario Murillo, observing her, listening to her, and writing about her. It also builds on the accusation by Rosario's daughter, Zoilam?rica Narv?ez, against Daniel Ortega of rape and collects information from sources close to Murillo at the time, who have requested anonymity.

The facts are real, although the protagonist seems to emerge from the best literary fiction.
