Costa Rican judicial appointment dispute

Overview

Costa Rica is experiencing political friction regarding the appointment of substitute magistrates for the Constitutional Chamber. The ruling Pueblo Soberano party has faced allegations from the Partido Liberación Nacional (PLN) of intentionally delaying these appointments, which have been vacant since last December.

Despite a ruling from the Constitutional Chamber mandating that the Legislative Assembly select candidates from a list provided by the Court, the Assembly has introduced procedural delays. A motion was passed to return the list to the Appointments Commission to verify candidate participation, a move that effectively resets the selection process despite previous judicial orders.
