Vargas Calls
Arias Criticism
Of Chinchilla
Government Tacky
The ministro de
la Presidencia,
Marco Vargas,
described as a
lack of
nobility,
launching his
attack against
criticism by the
former ministro
de la
Presidencia,
Rodrigo Arias,
against the
government of
Laura
Chinchilla.
Last week Arias
visited Casa
Presidencial,
weeks after
leaving office,
to meet with
president
Chinchilla after
getting a call
from the
president's
secretary.
However, Casa
Presidencial, in
a press
conference said
that presidenta
Chinchilla did
not make the
call for Arias
and it was the
former minister
to make contact
and call for an
appointment.
Arias, following
the meeting,
said to the
press he doesn't
see Chinchilla
as president,
but rather a
former
colleague.
Vargas, who was
a minister in
the Arias
administration,
responded by
saying that it
tacky for Arias
to me making
such a statement
so early in the
Chinchilla
administration,
different in a
couple of years.
"It is not
important what
Rodrigo Arias
thinks of
presidenta
Chinchilla, it
is how the Costa
Rican people see
her", said
Vargas.
Before leaving
office Rodrigo
Arias had hinted
at possibly
running for
president in
2014. During the
past weeks it
has become
evident that the
Arias
presidential
campaigning has
begun.
Rodrigo Arias is
brother of
two-time
president and
Nobel prize
winner, Oscar
Arias. |
