Costa Rica’s Legislative President Yara Jiménez has not processed a complaint against José Miguel Villalobos over alleged violence against women in politics, despite deadlines set by the legislature’s own regulations.
Under the regulations, the complaint should have been placed on the plenary agenda by August 24, two days after the board of directors became aware of it. A vote should then have taken place on August 27.
Neither step has occurred so far. The complaint remains unprocessed by the legislative president.
