Vice President Epsy Campbell, said Thursday at the U.N. that the situation in Nicaragua is “not sustainable,” and called on the international community to help solve the “crisis with the potential of growth” with impacts all over Central America.
Campbell, 54, is well known on the Costa Rican political scene, and is unquestionably one of the most familiar faces in the Citizen Action Party (PAC).
Evgeny Kabanov, a Russian citizen currently in the process of becoming a naturalized Costa Rican, submitted a bill in January to change Costa Rica's national anthem to make it more inclusive of black people.
The aggressions against lawmakers Epsy Campbell and Maureen Clarke began in late April when the congresswomen asked the culture ministry to withdraw funding for a musical adaptation of the controversial novel Cocorí.
