The Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR) is one of the country’s leading public universities and has frequently spoken out regarding issues impacting freedom of expression and safety for journalists. The Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MOPT) regularly announces road closures due to maintenance or weather conditions affecting national routes such as Route 32. In Costa Rica’s multiparty political landscape, endorsements from local officials like mayors can influence electoral dynamics ahead of presidential elections.
