- La Nación’s editorial says El Niño will test the state’s ability to act in a coordinated way.
- Guanacaste is expected to face drought and temperatures near 40 degrees, threatening crops and livestock feed.
- The editorial argues that the government should be judged by results, not by the number of actions it announces.
More than 200 actions are planned to address El Niño, but La Nación’s editorial asks who will bring them together. It argues that a strategy and assigned responsibilities will not be enough without clear leadership.
In the coming months, Guanacaste will face drought and temperatures approaching 40 degrees. Farmers could see their crops dry out, while ranchers may run short of pasture to feed their animals.
The editorial says El Niño will test the government’s ability to act in a coordinated manner. Someone must coordinate the response, remove obstacles, set priorities for resources and demand results.
When the emergency passes, the government should not be judged by its announcement of more than 200 planned actions, the editorial says, but by what those actions achieve.
