La Nación, a prominent Costa Rican news outlet, published a series of tweets on December 5, 2025, covering topics ranging from entertainment industry controversies to international political campaigns and national lottery sales.

In a tweet posted at 03:13 UTC, La Nación reported: “La historia detrás del largo castigo a Richard Gere por un discurso en vivo y cómo su activismo aún impacta su vida personal y profesional. https://t.co/OFyJOTG5Lg”. The tweet references the long-term repercussions faced by actor Richard Gere following a live speech and discusses the ongoing effects of his activism on both his professional and personal life.

Later that morning, at 03:22 UTC, La Nación addressed an international political development: “El medio estadounidense ‘The New York Times’ reveló que el exdirector de campaña de Donald Trump, Brad Parscale, asesoró la campaña del candidato presidencial hondureño Nasry Asfura, quien fue públicamente respaldado por el mandatario norteamericano https://t.co/OaoatWxlum”. This tweet highlights reporting by The New York Times about Brad Parscale’s role in advising Honduran presidential candidate Nasry Asfura’s campaign. According to the report, Asfura received public support from then-U.S. President Donald Trump.

At 03:34 UTC, La Nación turned its attention to local affairs with an update on lottery ticket sales: “Los números bajos para el sorteo de la lotería del Gordo 2025 empiezan a escasear en la compra en línea de la JPS. Vea 32 números que no estaban disponibles este jueves. https://t.co/pO1HKo1JaH”. The tweet notes that lower numbers for the “Gordo 2025” lottery drawing are becoming scarce in online purchases through the Junta de Protección Social (JPS), listing specific numbers unavailable as of Thursday.

Richard Gere has been recognized for his advocacy work over several decades; public statements made by him have previously resulted in significant consequences for his career in Hollywood. In Central America, U.S. political consultants have played roles in various electoral campaigns—Brad Parscale’s involvement with Nasry Asfura is part of this trend. The JPS is Costa Rica’s government agency responsible for managing national lotteries and social programs.
