A subsequent post reiterated this statement: “Monseñor Eugenio Salazar publica mensaje con frase de rechazo a dictaduras https://t.co/7EWkuUUj90”.
The Red Cross in Costa Rica frequently conducts rescue operations along its coasts due to dangerous sea conditions that have led to drownings and disappearances in recent years. Meanwhile, public figures such as Catholic bishops often use their platforms during election periods to encourage civic participation and stress democratic values.
