La Nación · Costa Rica · Costa Rica elects hardliner Laura Fernández in a first-round security landslide
Costa Rica's paper of record covers Fernández's outright first-round win and the PPSO's rare single-party Assembly majority, reading it as the institutionalisation of President Rodrigo Chaves's populist project around the homicide and drug-trafficking surge.
“Fernández clears the 40% threshold in one round and the PPSO wins an Assembly majority.”
