La Nación, a major Costa Rican newspaper, published several updates on September 14, 2025, regarding the internal candidate selection process within the National Liberation Party (PLN) and related political developments.
In a tweet posted at 04:32 UTC, La Nación stated: “Así explica Álvaro Ramos, candidato presidencial del PLN, el mecanismo utilizado para la elección de las candidaturas a diputados de Liberación Nacional, donde no faltó drama y reclamos.

Later that morning at 04:53 UTC, the outlet reported on shifts in PLN’s legislative candidate profiles. According to La Nación: “Álvaro Ramos impulsa candidatos a diputados ajenos a liderazgos tradicionales del PLN; algunos provienen de otros partidos https://t.co/k2czQyWdXm”.
In another update at 05:13 UTC on the same day, La Nación quoted Óscar ‘Macho’ Ramírez stating: “Óscar ‘Macho’ Ramírez: ‘Hoy no me preguntan a qué juega el equipo’ https://t.co/VvR4kMGKPy”.
Álvaro Ramos is the presidential candidate for the National Liberation Party (PLN), one of Costa Rica’s oldest and most influential political organizations. The party has traditionally relied on established leadership but appears to be opening up its legislative candidate lists to figures from outside its core ranks and even other parties. This shift reflects ongoing debates within Costa Rican politics about renewal and inclusivity in party structures.
Óscar ‘Macho’ Ramírez is a well-known figure in Costa Rican football and public life; his remarks may relate to ongoing commentary about team strategy or broader issues in national sports discussions.
