AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Marriage Equality: Costa Rica became the first Central American country to legalize same-sex marriage, with the first couple marrying in Heredia shortly after midnight Tuesday as President Carlos Alvarado hailed “liberty, equality and democratic institutions.” Transparency vs. Security: Opposition lawmakers asked Costa Rica’s Constitutional Chamber to suspend a sweeping state-secrecy decree covering broad categories of security information, including budgets and public contracts, arguing it could block public oversight of spending and procurement. Flood Response: Tropical Wave #33 disruption continues: 473 schools remain closed and 1,300 people are still in 23 shelters in Limón and the Northern Zone, with officials warning saturated ground makes landslides possible even after rain eases. Public Safety Poll: A nationwide survey finds 96% of Costa Ricans want tougher laws against organized crime as the government pushes new measures to speed trials and expand extraditable offenses. UN Leadership Race: Costa Rica’s regional spotlight also hits the UN: Uganda’s Olara Otunnu urged UN reform while Ecuador’s Ivonne Baki joined the race to replace António Guterres. Pensions Overhaul: President Laura Fernández moved to scrap “lavish” lifetime pensions for former presidents, submitting a zero-tolerance bill to Congress.
