La Nación, a major Costa Rican newspaper, published several updates on February 11, 2026, covering national and international political developments.
In one post from that day, La Nación reported: ” Marta Esquivel evita aclarar si la CCSS está quebrada, pese a haberlo afirmado en 2023 https://t.co/Q0AUedOIGY” (February 11, 2026). This tweet refers to Marta Esquivel’s reluctance to clarify whether the Costa Rican Social Security Fund (CCSS) is insolvent, despite having made such claims in the previous year.
On international matters, La Nación stated: ” Parlamento Europeo da un primer paso hacia el euro digital al respaldar el modelo del BCE https://t.co/47jLcMIdoT” (February 11, 2026). The tweet reports that the European Parliament has taken an initial step toward adopting a digital euro by supporting the model proposed by the European Central Bank.
In another update on domestic politics, La Nación wrote: ” 19 diputados de 4 partidos se solidarizan con jefe del PLN por presunta persecución política del gobierno: ‘No nos vamos a callar’ https://t.co/tGE0mpyVVH” (February 11, 2026). This message notes that nineteen deputies from four parties expressed solidarity with the head of Costa Rica’s National Liberation Party (PLN), alleging political persecution by the government and stating “We will not remain silent.”
La Nación is one of Costa Rica’s most influential newspapers and regularly covers both local governance issues—such as those involving public institutions like the CCSS—and broader developments in European and global politics. The digital euro initiative has been under discussion within EU institutions for several years as part of efforts to modernize currency systems and adapt to technological change. Political tensions in Costa Rica regarding alleged government actions against opposition figures have also been a recurrent theme in recent legislative sessions.
