Costa Rica: A Woman President

Costa Rican president Oscar Arias said that he would do everything possible so that a woman is his successor as the leader of the nation. Juan Carlos Hidalgo took his comment as Arias’ way of saying that he would like his Vice-President Laura Chinchilla to keep his party in office [es], and disguising it in the framework of equality of the sexes.

  • We applaud Costa Rica for being one of the most progressive countries in the world and certainly in all of Latin America. I am however a bit skeptical that Costa Rica will be voting in a woman as Pres any time soon.

    Look what’s happening in the U.S.A.’s presidential election. There are still many in America that cannot believe that history is going to be made soon. It looks like a Black or a woman is going to be the head of the most powerful country in the world.

    So why not in little Costa Rica?

  • Chile has Michelle and Argentina has Cristina so why not Laura for Costa Rica ?
    I didn’t realize China had a black and a woman bidding for president ….or were you referring to that fallen M-pyre run by bankers and criminals ?
