The President of the Congress of Costa Rica, Rodrigo Arias, expressed his concern about the possible evolution of the country towards "authoritarian populism," considering it a path to suffering. These statements arose as a response to the third annual report presented by President Rodrigo Chaves to the Legislative Assembly this Monday.
Arias highlighted the importance of maintaining a balance between political decisions and respect for democracy to avoid falling into authoritarian models that could harm Costa Rican society. In this regard, he urged reflection on the direction Costa Rica is taking and to take measures to protect institutional stability and the well-being of the population.
"It is essential to recognize the risks involved in deviating towards authoritarian populism and its negative consequences for the nation," Arias stated, emphasizing the need to strengthen democratic institutions and promote constructive dialogue to address the challenges the country currently faces.
The words of the President of Congress underscore the importance of preserving democratic principles and promoting responsible leadership that fosters sustainable development and social inclusion in Costa Rica. In the midst of a complex political and social context, Arias called for unity and joint efforts to overcome adversities and build a more prosperous and equitable future for all citizens.
