While Semana Santa (Easter Week) is vacation time in Costa Rica, this year more so, given the strictest of restrictions last year, but the country’s lawmakers, who are expected to set an example, did just the opposite.
The Legislative Assembly became a ghost town on Thursday, due to the absence of 24 legislators – only 33 present in the Legislative Floor – not meeting the required 38 for a quorum.
Thus, it’s vacation time, leaving behind the Public Employment bill, the essential axis for the agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), returning on April 5.
