QCOSTARICA — With less than nine until the end of the current administration, the Progressive Liberal Party (Partido Liberal Progresista – PLP) is virtually without representation in Congress.
Of the six elected legislators, only two remain with that party, with the resignation on Tuesday of Luis Diego Vargas, who considered that the political group had lost its vision and direction.
“My time in the PLP is over. I am resigning because the party has lost its way in its proposal to transform the country. Because there is a rift between the party’s leadership and its rank and file, with whom I identify, and I see that they have closed their doors, and because the vision of the current leadership differs greatly from mine and that of other leaders who believed in the principles that gave rise to the PLP,” the legislator stated.

Previously, Johanna Obando, Kattia Cambronero, and Cinthya Córdoba declared themselves independent. Thus, only Gilberto Campos and former presidential candidate, Eli Feinzaig, remain in the PLP.
“I believe in a politics that listens more and is less closed off. I believe political parties should be closer to community leaders, the productive sectors, the common people, and, above all, to the reality of the country. And the PLP has strayed from that path,” Luis Diego Vargas added.
Vargas announced that he will remain in his position as a legislator and will seek approval for bills such as the expropriation bill, the public-private partnership bill, and a reform to the Urban Planning Law, which he considers obsolete; bills he has introduced in recent years and which have advanced in the legislative review process.
