Costa Rica Democracy Under Threat from Chaves-TSE Conflict
Costa Rica's President Rodrigo Chaves faces backlash from the Supreme Electoral Tribunal over repeated attacks.
President Rodrigo Chaves has intensified his public feud with the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), drawing sharp rebukes from its leadership and raising alarms about the health of Costa Rica’s democratic institutions as the 2026 elections approach.
Chaves’ latest outburst came after the TSE requested that the Legislative Assembly remove his constitutional immunity, aiming to allow investigations into claims of political belligerence against him.
Chaves responded by questioning the tribunal’s impartiality and targeting its president, Eugenia Zamora, over her past role in the administration of former President Óscar Arias four decades ago.
The move has sparked concerns about the state of Costa Rica's democratic institutions.
