Political proselytism
At the Francisco Buitrago health post, located in District 4 of Managua, the vaccination day began under political proselytism, with music alluding to the ruling party.
Article 94 of Law 331, Electoral Law, states that “the use of property owned by the State for political propaganda purposes is prohibited. Political proselytism may not be carried out in public offices ”.
The administration of this health center did not allow the LA PRENSA team to continue its work and was forced to withdraw.
