BLOOD IN THE STREETS AS PARADISE FALLS. Costa Rica, the once-peaceful Central American jewel, is on the BRINK of a constitutional COUP this Sunday, as voters decide whether to hand TOTAL POWER to the radical populist heirs of strongman Rodrigo Chaves.
His hand-picked successor, Laura Fernández, is poised to COMPLETE the hostile takeover of Costa Rican democracy, leveraging a manufactured crime CRISIS that exploded under Chaves’ own divisive watch. Critics warn that a Fernández victory is not an election—it’s a RUBBER STAMP for a regime hellbent on DISMANTLING the courts and legislature to secure unchecked authority.
This is NOT a simple choice between right and left. This is a FINAL BATTLE for the soul of a nation being dragged into the same dark populist spiral as Argentina and El Salvador. Fernández pledges to continue Chaves’ WAR on the “corrupt” establishment, but insiders expose the truth: this is a calculated power grab aiming for a congressional supermajority to ANNIHILATE checks and balances FOREVER.
The so-called opposition is in DISARRAY, a fragmented gaggle of twenty candidates unable to counter the populist tsunami. While Fernández demagogues on violence, the real crime is happening in PLAIN SIGHT: the systematic looting of democratic institutions by strongmen who sell fear as their only platform.
One professor warns this election is about “radical change” versus reform. That is a DANGEROUS understatement. This is a referendum on whether Costa Rica will surrender its decades of stable democracy to become yet another laboratory for populist tyranny. The world watches, horrified, as paradise prepares to vote itself into a cage.
