President-elect Luis Guillermo Solís got a VIP tour of his new office from outgoing President Laura Chinchilla as the two leaders met for coffee and walked the halls of the Casa Presidencial in Zapote, in southeastern San José, Tuesday morning.
In her last major public speech before leaving office, Costa Rica’s Laura Chinchilla spoke for nearly three hours Thursday night about the perception of her presidency, her administration’s strategies and achievements, and the country’s continued progress in democracy and social development. But on her administration’s many failures, it was mostly finger pointing.
