President Laura Fernández of Costa Rica has completed her first 100 days in office, presenting a report on her administration’s progress. While Fernández stated she has no regrets regarding her management, she accused a “communist opposition bloc” of intentional obstruction regarding national development projects, including the modernization of the electricity market and the Crucitas project.

Legislative opposition members countered the report, arguing that the administration’s assessment ignored critical issues such as healthcare waiting lists, public security, and agricultural support. Lawmakers criticized the President for a perceived policy of “confrontation and contradictions,” while government supporters defended her performance during this initial period.
