Prime Minister
Answer
The head of the National Guard was one of the powerful positions held by Anastasio Somoza García, former President of Nicaragua from 1937 to 1947 and 1950 to 1956. Notably, Somoza's control over the military, particularly the National Guard, was a key factor in his authoritarian rule and suppression of political opposition during his presidency, allowing him to maintain a firm grip on power and influence in Nicaragua.
