First batches Bismarck Martínez after municipal electoral farce
The Bismarck Martinez program began after the repression against the 2018 citizen protests and has a strong propaganda component.
His name alludes to a Sandinista militant who, according to the Government, was murdered after being kidnapped on June 29, 2018, in a citizen roadblock of the San José College, in Jinotepe, Carazo, during the civic protests repressed with bullets by police and paramilitaries. of the regime.
The main component of this program is in Managua, mainly on land located in Sabana Grande. These lands donated by the regime are the first to be handed over after the results of the so-called municipal electoral farce 2022 last November 6.
On that date, the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo won all the mayoralties of the 153 municipalities of Nicaragua, according to the Supreme Electoral Council (CSE), controlled by operators of the dictatorship.
That Sunday some questionable municipal votes were held in which there was no political competition due to the absence of opposition political parties and there was little citizen participation.
In these votes, the Sandinista Front was awarded the mayoralties that were in the hands of collaborationist parties such as the Constitutionalist Liberal (PLC) and the Nicaraguan Liberal Alliance (ALN). The only opponent, Citizens for Freedom (CxL), was annulled in 2021.
