Cartago Council Defers Vote on Declaring Costa Rican President Chaves Persona Non Grata

The Cartago municipal council postponed a final vote on motions to declare President Rodrigo Chaves persona non grata, censure his actions during the September 14 events, and demand explanations for restrictions at Plaza Mayor. The proposals, backed by 7,000 signatures, were sent to committee after hours of discussion. This reflects ongoing local political friction but has no immediate national policy impact.
