General overview of the elections on the Coast.

Abstract

In figures, an overview of the 1998 elections of the Atlantic Coast can easily provoke vertigo of the great magnitudes, concentrated in a geographic space that represents 47% of the Nicaraguan territory (61,320 km2), but precisely the region with the lowest population density (4 inhabitants per km2) with only 6% of the entire national population (370,000 costeños}, paradoxically the one with the greatest potential of natural resources while at the same time the most impoverished and relegated. At the same time, it is the most neglected and at the same time the richest in terms of multi-ethnicity and multiculturalism in the country.
