Youths Protest
Referendum Results
A group of 50 youths
promoting the "No" vote
last night gathered to
burn flags and posters
of the "Si" in front of
the Legislative
Assembly.
The group did not accept
the majority vote
results and chanted
profanities against the
Tribunal Supremo de
Elecciones (TSE), Costa
Rican president, Oscar
Arias and others who
headed the "Si" vote.
The protestors alleged
fraud and that
"democracy" was lost as
the preliminary vote
results began to come in
favouring the "Si".
The situation did not
get out of hand as
members of the Fuerza
Pública (police0 were on
hand.
The youths, armed with
sticks and stones,
slowly broke up the
protest and calm was
restored. |
