AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Illegal Mining Crackdown: Costa Rica’s Fuerza Pública clashed with armed illegal gold miners on Conchuditas hill in Cutris de San Carlos, near the San Juan River, after police dismantled a camp and stopped about 5,000 sacks of mining material from being removed; roughly 150 suspects stayed and attacked officers with machetes and tools before police repelled the violence. Fuel Prices: ARESEP approved new fuel-rate adjustments tied to RECOPE shipment costs, with the next changes set to hit consumers next week amid Middle East-driven pressure on global energy markets. National Team Discipline: Costa Rica’s federation dropped Alejandro Bran, Kenneth Vargas, and Warren Madrigal from upcoming friendlies against Colombia and England after a shooting incident outside a bar in San José’s Los Yoses. Electricity Market Fight: President Laura Fernández accused opposition lawmakers of “communists” and “vagrants” after they opposed electricity market harmonization, and said she would withdraw the bill rather than escalate. Tourism Spotlight: La Fortuna Waterfall earned TripAdvisor’s “Best of the Best” honor, placing it in the top 1% of attractions worldwide.
