La Nación, a prominent Costa Rican news outlet, published several updates on January 23, 2026, covering topics ranging from political proposals to economic measures and sports developments.
In a post made on January 23, 2026, La Nación reported: “Fabricio Alvarado plantea sacar a Costa Rica de la OMS si gana las elecciones, al igual que lo hizo el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump.” The statement refers to Fabricio Alvarado’s proposal to withdraw Costa Rica from the World Health Organization (WHO) if elected president. This move mirrors the actions previously taken by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
On the same day, La Nación highlighted financial decisions involving the Costa Rican Social Security Fund (CCSS). The post stated: “Claves detrás del uso histórico de ¢50.000 millones de la reserva del IVM por parte de la CCSS en 2025”. This message addresses the unprecedented use of ₡50 billion from the Disability, Old Age and Death Insurance (IVM) reserve by the CCSS in 2025. The IVM is one of Costa Rica’s primary social security programs and plays a critical role in providing pensions and other benefits.
Additionally, La Nación provided an update regarding Keylor Navas, a well-known Costa Rican footballer. According to their report: “Keylor Navas finaliza contrato con Pumas a mediados del 2026.” This announcement informs that Navas’ contract with Pumas will end in mid-2026.
