The Movimiento Libertario had a national assembly yesterday, and Otto Guevara’s faction has won (that link is in Spanish). Raúl Costales, the hard-working ideologically correct party secretary, is no longer with the group, although it is still unclear if he was removed or he resigned. Kattia Chavaría, the movimiento’s treasurer an another one insisting the group follows the libertarian ideology, has resigned. Adrián Cordero, a libertarian from Limón who got shoved aside to make way for an ex-PUSC non-libertarian, has also left the group altogether.
All three claim to have received serious threats against themselves and their family.
It seems like I was right when I told Álvaro Alpízar, the campaign manager, current party treasurer and someone who has clearly stated he is not a libertarian, that this seemed to be the birth of a new PUSC.
Anyone wants to place bets against them taking money from the government as political debt (which had previously been rejected as immoral)?
Anyone?
