When Chamorro was sworn into office on 25 April 1990, it was the first time in more than five decades that a peaceful transition of power had occurred in Nicaragua and the first time that one elected president had given way to another.
Kui Violeta Chamorro 25. aprillil 1990 ametivande andis, oli see viimase viiekümne aasta jooksul esimene kord, mil võim riigis rahulikul teel vahetus ja üks president teisele võimu üle andis.
