#TODO POLITICO — By Luis Paulino Vargas Solís — I see Minister Rodrigo Chaves very distressed and heartbroken that the person in charge of notifications for the Prosecutor’s Office didn’t give him the information he needed to contact his beloved former legislator, Mrs. Pilar Cisneros, at Casa Presidencial.
I understand the Minister’s anguish, and I sympathize with him. It’s obvious that this matter has caused him great pain and mortification.
For my part, I can’t help but wonder what happened that prevented the “distinguished citizen,” Mrs. Pilar’s husband, from receiving the information he needed to pass on the message he received and tell his esteemed wife that she should call the Prosecutor’s Office numbers that were provided to the aforementioned “distinguished citizen.”
Or, if the latter did manage to pass on the message, what happened then that prevented Doña Pilar from doing so and from understanding that the proper course of action was to call the Prosecutor’s Office to see what was needed for Mr. Carlo Díaz?
In other words: we are witnessing a series of missteps that give rise to a very dramatic tale of intrigue and overflowing passions, which could be titled “The Sufferings of Don Rodrigo” or, alternatively, “Doña Pilar’s Mistake.”
But I believe the best title for such a moving story would be: “The Via Crucis (Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross) of Pilar and Rodrigo.”
Now, when I see Minister Chaves in such a state of agitation, practically on the verge of a meltdown, a fit, or who knows, maybe even a heart attack, all because the prosecutor’s process server couldn’t find the distinguished spouse of the distinguished citizen at Casa Presidencial, I can’t help but think to myself: “No wonder Costa Rica’s public finances and national economy are going from bad to worse.”
The thing is, as we can see and confirm, the super-minister (Chaves heads the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of the Presidency) in whose hands such delicate matters lie is least interested in doing his job and fulfilling his duty.
Other things occupy him. Far more.
Besides, there are plenty of reasons to doubt that he has the slightest idea how to do it.
