You all know my entire blog is basically a shit post all the time. I rarely ever “get real” with my followers bc i like to keep things lighthearted, but for all of you who don’t know me and don’t know where i’m from, my country is going through a tough crisis right now. you can find a brief summary of the situation here and also here. Living in a third world country is not easy, but its not impossible. however, late and impromptu reforms to our social security (INSS) have enraged people. Wages are being cut, middle class salaries are being taxed higher than the last consensus, pensioned elderly are being deprived of 5% of their wages, which wasn’t much in the first place; the average pension is about C$7,500 nicaraguan cordobas (242 US dollars). The government is responsible for using our social security’s funds for their own profit, using the money from our taxes to build luxury hotels and shopping malls, and have personally pocketed a big chunk of the people’s hard earned money.
Yesterday, people began manifesting their anger and agreed to peacefully protest. Its written in our constitution, that every man and woman has the right to demand answers and protest our rights as long as the people keep things civilized. The government has always found a way to shut them down, either by abrasive lies or twisted truths. However, the Sandinistas’ regime and dictatorship has reached a new low today, when peaceful protestors were attacked by the police (under executive orders from the highest seat), and pro government youth is trying to terrorize people by almost beating them to death (this includes teenagers, adults, and elderly citizens). Public hospitals have been ordered not to tend for people who get hurt during the manifestation, especially on the “opposing” side, but doctors are sticking to their hypocratic oaths and have deployed to the streets where they’re stationed in safe spots to help people in need. The military is guarding the streets. Not a single protestor against the new reform in our social security is armed, but they’re being attacked with tear gas, flash grenades, and have now resorted to changing their rubber bullets to real ones. They have taken people hostage in police departments, hurt innocent people, and continue to blame protestors for local destruction.
Now, the government has turned to other methods, shutting down third party news channels who live cast the protest, shutting down radio stations, hijacked local channels, and are single-handedly, one by one, shutting down electricity, water, and cell phone communication. They’ve established a 10:00PM curfew, threatening to deploy soldiers to “diffuse” the situation. We are in a crisis, deprived of our rights, and forced to shove a dictatorship down our throats. We are the new Venezuela, the new Cuba, and its not being broadcasted anywhere.
