Description
"The poor do not get a salary raise," says Marta Arias Cruz, a resident of El Erizo neighbourhood near Costa Rica's capital San Jose, as the country struggles to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic and poverty rates remain worryingly high, according to local and international organisations. Costa Ricans will go to the polls on February 6, with a total of 25 presidential candidates, an unprecedented number for one of the most stable democracies of Latin America. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
