In the Government of Reconstruction, the FSLN exercises the control of power in the name of the workers and the other oppressed sectors. Despite the resounding victory over the dictatorship of Somoza, however, the Sandinist movement has not acted radically on behalf of workers and peasants, because political expediency dictates that more favorable conditions be created for the revolution; political, economic, and military consolidation must be achieved before major revolutionary reforms can be undertaken. Economic policies will build upon that already undertaken: (1) the expropriation of the property of Somoza and the Somocists, (2) the nationalization of the banks, (3) the creation of the Institute of Agrarian Reform, (4) the expropriation of uncultivated lands, and (5) the creation of the Ministry of Foreign Commerce. Economic policy will essentially ensure that the Nation's economy is under the control of the State acting on behalf of the masses, rather than being tied to foreign capitalists or a Nicaraguan middle class acting for profit. Efforts will be made to strengthen and educate the Popular Sandinist Army, taking care to maintain its faithfulness to the masses and the revolution led by the FSLN. International policy will be directed to the support of friendly countries and organizations and the neutralization of reactionary elements.
