Costa Rica President Chaves Accuses Ex-President Rodríguez of Judicial Interference

Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves, through his Minister of the Presidency, has accused former President Miguel Ángel Rodríguez (1998-2002) of participating in a movement defending judicial independence, despite Rodríguez's past legal processes. This marks an escalation in Chaves's campaign against perceived judicial obstruction, targeting a prominent opposition figure. The accusation is politically charged and may deepen institutional tensions.
