Costa Rican Deputy Accuses Government of Stalling on Trans-Pacific Trade Deal

Deputy Karen Alfaro publicly denounces the Costa Rican government for allegedly delaying negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Agreement, despite President Fernández's stated intention to assess feasibility and the Comex Minister's claim that the deal is ready for signing. The contradiction between executive statements and ministerial actions creates political uncertainty over the treaty's ratification. This development matters as it signals potential internal government discord on a major trade agreement, which could affect regional trade dynamics.
