Costa Rica Supreme Court leadership transition

Overview

Orlando Aguirre, President of the Supreme Court of Justice in Costa Rica, has announced he will not seek reelection to the position when his term concludes on September 26. While stepping down from the presidency, Aguirre will remain a magistrate in the Second Chamber.

His decision follows a period of tension between the Judiciary and the Executive branch. President Laura Fernández expressed respect for the decision but criticized the lack of coordination between the branches during Aguirre’s tenure. Fernández noted that previous attempts to establish a joint working agenda regarding national security and impunity were met with “little response,” and she emphasized that the incoming president must demonstrate a willingness to work collaboratively with the Executive and Legislative branches.
