Costa Rica President Fernández asserts authority after abrupt dismissal of Chancellor Tovar

Costa Rican President Laura Fernández publicly justified the abrupt dismissal of Chancellor Tovar, stating she does not allow ministers to arrogate powers and questioning Tovar's handling of security matters. The dismissal follows Tovar's participation in an 'Escudo de las Américas' meeting in New York, suggesting a potential policy or jurisdictional dispute. This marks a notable assertion of presidential authority and may signal a shift in foreign policy or cabinet dynamics.
