La Nación, a prominent Costa Rican news outlet, reported on February 25, 2026, about recent statements made by President Rodrigo Chaves regarding voters of the Frente Amplio party. The coverage highlighted Chaves’ characterization of the group and also touched on upcoming football scenarios involving Cartaginés and Sporting San Miguelito.
In two separate tweets posted within minutes of each other, La Nación stated: ” Rodrigo Chaves estigmatiza a los 293.000 costarricenses que votaron por el Frente Amplio: los llamó ‘therians’ y ‘gente medio tocada de la cabeza’ https://t.co/sa2FMwPR7R” (February 25, 2026). A similar message was reiterated in another tweet: ” Rodrigo Chaves estigmatiza a los 293.000 costarricenses que votaron por el Frente Amplio: los llamó ‘therians’ y ‘gente medio tocada de la cabeza’ https://t.co/AvfvpmysFt” (February 25, 2026).
Additionally, La Nación addressed regional sports developments in a later tweet the same evening: ” Centroamérica contra la lógica: escenarios de Cartaginés y Sporting San Miguelito ante dos gigantes https://t.co/sNUX8AJIZR” (February 25, 2026).
