Costa Rica opposition to file contempt charges over magistrate election delay

Costa Rican opposition parties (PLN, Frente Amplio, CAC, PUSC) will accuse the Legislative Assembly's board of contempt before the Constitutional Chamber (Sala IV) after the PPSO party used its 27 votes to return the substitute magistrate list to the Nominations Commission, delaying the election. This marks an escalation in a domestic political dispute over judicial appointments, with potential constitutional implications.
