RICO’s Q (Opinion) It is truly concerning that, after almost two weeks, the situation on the Ruta 32, in the area of the Zurquí, remains unresolved. It is difficult to understand how, with trained professionals and years of experience, we continue to face the same limitations time and time again.
Behind each closure are thousands of affected people: businesses accumulating losses, patients unable to reach their medical appointments, students arriving late to class, transporters missing ships or unable to reach farms, suppliers unable to complete their routes… and so on.
This road is vital to the country—it shouldn’t be a constant source of disruption and uncertainty.

This isn’t about politics. It isn’t about any political party or any particular leader. It’s about the government coming together, like a well-run company team—clear on goals, efficient, and actually getting things done.
Until we stop recycling the same old methods and mindset, we’re stuck where we are, still developing instead of moving forward.
It’s strange how we admire other countries’ infrastructure and efficiency when we visit them, but rarely put that same energy into building a stronger Costa Rica from the inside
What we need are real solutions, thoughtful planning, and commitment from everyone.
Let’s all step up, do our part, and push our country ahead.
