Controversial Financing By The Government
The newspaper has been characterized as propaganda for the New Progressive Party since El Vocero allegedly receives funds from the NPP-controlled central government. According to an investigation by the newspaper El Nuevo Día, the company has received more than $24.9 million, even when it had a debt of $21,141,200 in taxes. El Vocero's editor-in-chief has responded by stating that neither the newspaper nor its parent company have received government funds through any means, and dismisses El Nuevo Día's allegations as part of a series of attacks driven by the newspaper's new-found success as a free publication.

Famous quotes containing the word government:
“I heartily accept the motto, “That government is best which governs least”; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe,—”That government is best which governs not at all”; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
