El uso político de la pandemia en Centroamérica : la estigmatización de Nicaragua

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has been used as a political weapon by Nicaraguan opposition and the Costa Rican government. The way the Nicaraguan government has handled the problem must be understood in the context of what happened in April 2018 (protests against the system), together with features of the country’s health system. With strategies that can be seen replicated in other countries, like Venezuela, disinformation has been spread through groups self-proclaimed “from civil society”, that have had a sounding board abroad.
