    Allegations of government financing and political alignment

    El Vocero was accused by competitors of receiving government-linked financing during a period when the New Progressive Party controlled Puerto Rico's central government. An investigation published by El Nuevo Día alleged more than $24.9 million in government-related support and cited tax debt. El Vocero's editor in chief denied that the newspaper or its parent company had received government funds and characterized the reporting as a competitive attack. The allegations remain a disputed part of the newspaper's history.
