Nicaragua Protests Over Social Security System Leaves At Least 10 Dead

Description

According to a report by CNN, at least 10 people have died in Nicaragua this week, during violent protests over the government's proposed changes to the social security system. The social security changes would increase workers' contributions into the social security system, while also reducing the amount retired workers will receive as a pension. Vice President Rosario Murillo told state media outlet El 19 Digital, demonstrators in the capital Managua threw rocks and set fires in unrest that began on Wednesday, and police responded with tear gas. El 19 Digital originally reported that the army was deployed late Friday in order to protect government buildings. The UN Human Rights Office condemned the violence against protesters, whom the vice president had compared earlier to "vampires" who "feed off blood and they think that with this, they'll achieve advances in their political agenda."
