Media linked to detained political consultant Fernando Cerimedo promote Laura Fernández

Since January, the X accounts of La Derecha Diario and UHN Plus have been filled with posts praising Laura Fernández and her decisions. The outlets describe her as “Costa Rica’s right-wing president,” “the anti-immigration right-winger” and the figure best aligned with the United States and the Trump administration’s agenda for the Americas.

The accounts are linked to Argentine political consultant Fernando Cerimedo, who was detained in Bolivia on Aug. 18. La Nación presents the online activity as a sustained promotional campaign around Fernández, using language that places her firmly on the political right and emphasizes her relationship with the U.S. agenda for the region.

The report identifies the publications and their descriptions of Fernández, while also highlighting their connection to Cerimedo, whose detention in Bolivia is included in the article’s framing.
