Even Costa Rica Coalition objects the State Reform Commission

June 24, 2018 by Staff News Writer

The Costa Rica Coalition movement objected the State Reform Commission created by the President of the Republic, Carlos Alvarado, last Friday.

In a public statement, the Coalition recalled that it is not the first time that groups of this nature have been integrated in Costa Rica and that in the last case, during the administration of Laura Chinchilla, around 97 proposals were generated, of which 47 were sent as bills to Congress, where they failed.

These spaces have proven to be platforms to reaffirm the exclusion of sectors historically made invisible by ethnic, generational, gender, social class and geographical issues, among others; deepening the existing gaps between citizens and decision-makers. Similarly, by not being processes that have support and appropriation by different social sectors, the operationalization of their recommendations faces poor management of the parties involved,”

adds the Costa Rica Coalition.

According to the statement, in the conformation of the new group they see a deepening of generational gaps, absence of organizations of the civil society, lack of territorial representativeness and monopolized presence of people belonging to the socioeconomic and academic elites of the Costa Rican society.

The coalition also objects the appointment of former vice president Kevin Casas, and former legislator Mario Redondo in the commission.
