Supervisor of Elections Alina Garcia stands in solidarity with the people of Nicaragua and denounces the Ortega regime’s continued dismantling of democratic institutions and the fundamental right of citizens to choose their leaders through free and fair elections. 🇳🇮🇺🇸
Supervisor Garcia was joined by Nicaraguan community leaders and elected officials, including Norman Caldera, former Nicaraguan Minister of Foreign Affairs; City of Doral Mayor Christi Fraga; Doral Councilwoman Nicole Reinoso; Miami-Dade Tax Collector Dariel Fernandez; Weston Commissioner Fabio Andrade; and Nicaraguan leaders Ana Margarita Abaunza, Helen Ferrer Aguirre, Marco Novoa, and Carlos Pereira, with support from the offices of U.S. Senator Ashley Moody, Congressman Giménez, and Commissioner JC Bermudez.
Together, they raised their voices to speak the truth about the Ortega regime, the erosion of democratic institutions in Nicaragua, and the importance of defending the right of every citizen to have a voice in their government.
As Supervisor of Elections, Garcia remains a steadfast advocate for democracy, free and fair elections, and the fundamental right to vote. When people are denied the ability to make their voices heard at the ballot box, those who believe in democracy have a responsibility to speak out.
Miami-Dade County is home to the largest Nicaraguan community in the United States. As an elected representative of this diverse community, Supervisor Garcia will continue to stand with Nicaraguans in Miami-Dade and abroad who seek freedom, justice, and the restoration of democratic rights.
Democracy depends on the voice of the people—and that voice must never be silenced. 🗳️🇳🇮🇺🇸
