Pro-democracy activist is banned from opening a bank account in freely convertible currency (MLC)



"Yadisley is an activist with the Eastern Democratic Alliance (ADO) and a reporter for media agency Palenque Visión. She visited a FINCIMEX office to apply for a freely convertible currency card, but the bank informed her that it was impossible to process her application anywhere in the country due to a government restriction linked to her name. The employee who assisted Yadisley cited her activism at ADO as the reason for the prohibition. "
