Anything & Everything Costa Rica

Claudia Dobles announces presidential candidacy

QCOSTARICA — A more agile, humane, and equitable state, with responses without excuses, and where it’s not enough just to improve, but to transform, is the proposal by Costa Rica’s former first lady, Claudia Dobles Camargo, who formally announced her candidacy for the Partido Acción Ciudadana (PAC) on Monday.

Dobles’s government plan includes modernizing education (including AI and bilingualism), strengthening state transparency, and combating organized crime and traffic congestion with structural solutions.

An architect by profession, who served as first lady in her husband’s administration (Carlos Alvarado 2018-2022), emphasizes female leadership while warning that there is a lot of polarization in Costa Rica.

Dobles made the announcement through her social media channels after completing her academic training at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard.

“People are tired of things not working; it’s not enough to improve, we must transform. We need an agile, efficient, equitable, and humane state that provides responses without excuses,” Dobles stated.

The presidential candidate believes that citizens demand “a profound change” in institutions, processes, and the way politics are conducted, and insisted that “this change, with efficiency and decency, is our proposal.”

Priority Focuses

Among the priority focus areas of the PAC’s pre-candidacy are the following:

  • Education: This would entail the comprehensive modernization of the system.
  • Transparency and Public Service: With a State at the service of the people, with citizen participation, accountability, and clear management.
  • Public Security: Strengthening police forces to counter organized crime, drug trafficking, and cybercrime.
  • Infrastructure and Justice: Structural attention to road dams, reducing waiting lists, streamlining judicial processes, and increasing the efficiency of the Comptroller’s Office.

Dobles emphasized that the tools to offer democratic solutions exist, but that implementing them requires “strategy, efficiency, and decency.”
