Gobierno de Irán se reunirá con sus homólogos europeos ante la intensificación del conflicto con Israel. Asesinado a tiros en Costa Rica un oficial retirado del ejército de Nicaragua que era fuerte crítico del gobierno de Daniel Ortega y Rosario Murillo. Escucha estas y otras noticias importantes del día.

Toda persona que se transporte en bus, taxi, su propio vehículo, motocicleta o servicios de plataformas de movilidad es víctima del creciente congestionamiento y de la aguda crisis vial que vivimos en Costa Rica. Las llamamos presas y se han convertido, de acuerdo con especialistas, en un factor de riesgo para la salud cardiovascular, física y mental. Años atrás ese fenómeno se vivía en las conocidas horas pico, pero hoy a cualquier hora, por cualquier accidente, lamentable muerte en carretera o inundación, el colapso es la norma. Y se ha extendido de las vías de las ciudades del centro a las de todas las provincias. No solo la calidad de vida se afecta, también la productividad. El informe Estado de la Nación estimó la pérdida económica en un 4% del Producto Interno Bruto, es decir ₡1.8 billones anuales. Costa Rica vive bajo la huella del terrible daño que generan los retrasos en proyectos y en infraestructura para la movilidad. El gobierno Chaves Robles, aduciendo decisiones erróneas, sin presentar estudios y sí valoraciones políticas, detuvo y retraso proyectos como el de la sectorización del transporte público y obras en la ruta 1 en los tramos de Barranca-Limonal en Puntarenas y en el corredor San José-San Ramón, en la ruta 32 en Limón y el del Tren Eléctrico, solo por mencionar algunas de gran envergadura. Para analizar salidas a la actual y caótica situación para el presente y futuro conversaremos con el ingeniero, Olman Vargas.

Roberto Samcam, mayor retirado del ejército de Nicaragua, crítico del gobierno de Daniel Ortega y figura de la oposición en el exilio, fue asesinado a tiros en las afueras de San José, Costa Rica. Medios y activistas nicaragüenses en el exilio sospechan que se trata de un nuevo caso de represión transfronteriza atribuible al régimen Ortega-Murillo. El crimen ha causado conmoción entre la comunidad nicaragüense exiliada, según advierte Jhoswel Antonio Martínez, presidente de la Asociación Intercultural de Derechos Humanos (ASIDEHU). Samcam, quien integró el antiguo Ejército Popular Sandinista antes de pasar a la disidencia, era codirector del Grupo Patriótico de Militares Retirados, un colectivo abiertamente crítico del gobierno de Managua. Desde 2018 vivía exiliado junto a su esposa en Costa Rica. Su asesinato, ocurrido este jueves, ha encendido las alarmas entre organizaciones de derechos humanos y comunidades exiliadas. Muchas miradas apuntan hacia el régimen nicaragüense, acusado de extender su política represiva más allá de sus fronteras. Jhoswel Antonio Martínez, también refugiado en Costa Rica, denuncia que no se trata de un caso aislado. Persecución a opositores nicaragüenses en Costa Rica  "Existe una represión transfronteriza por parte del régimen de Nicaragua hacia opositores. Hay muchas personas, incluido yo mismo, que hemos recibido amenazas y persecución desde que estamos en Costa Rica. Estas acciones incluyen tomas de fotografías al salir de casa o del trabajo, y mensajes en redes sociales desde cuentas falsas o bots que dicen: 'sabemos dónde estás', 'sabemos lo que haces'. Son advertencias para que uno deje de denunciar públicamente las violaciones de derechos humanos. Se conocen al menos cinco casos de atentados contra opositores que habían reportado amenazas previas y que, como Samcam, no necesariamente tenían un perfil alto", señala Martínez. Comunidad nicaragüense en el exilio está muy afectada  El impacto entre la diáspora nicaragüense es profundo, especialmente por la cercanía del asesinato de Samcam con el Día Mundial de las Personas Refugiadas, el 20 de junio. "Créeme que el impacto ha sido muy fuerte, tanto en la salud mental como en la percepción de seguridad. Este asesinato ocurre en torno a una de las fechas más sensibles para nosotros. Roberto Samcam era refugiado, tenía protección internacional. Su muerte nos afecta porque nos recuerda quiénes somos: personas que debimos huir. El temor se ha intensificado y hay riesgo real de que se desate una paranoia colectiva entre los opositores refugiados en Costa Rica", concluye Martínez.

Nada más sensible para la economía que movimientos, decisiones, entornos adversos e incertidumbre, ya que no existe una vacuna contra la volatilidad de un mundo conectado en el cual las amenazas, internas y externas, se tornan en realidades. Hace pocas semanas, el primer Informe macroeconómico 2025 del Centro Internacional de Política Económica para el Desarrollo Sostenible (Cinpe) de la Universidad Nacional Cinpe-UNA, hizo una revisión hacia la baja de las expectativas de crecimiento en Costa Rica, debido al anuncio del aumento en los aranceles. Días después el conflicto entre Israel e Irán, nos obliga a nuevas proyecciones. Esto debido al papel que Estados Unidos, como actor geopolítico global tiene y que incide en nuestro país, al ser principal destino de exportaciones, de atracción de inversiones como del ingreso de turistas, todos factores con relación directa en la producción, empleo y materia fiscal. Pero no solo eso estará incidiendo en la baja, ya que hay realidades de nuestra política monetaria interna, la caída del ingreso de turistas, la precariedad de sectores vinculados a la agricultura, silvicultura y pesca. Así como la disminución del consumo privado de las familias y de los sectores del régimen definitivo, donde se ubican las pequeñas y medianas empresas (pymes) que sostienen al 66% de la fuerza laboral. Para poner en foco estas perspectivas conversaremos con dos economistas, el director del Cinpe-UNA, Marco Otoya y la académica de este mismo centro de investigación, Ivannia Bolaños.

Stephanie is a Cooley Law School Graduate and works as the Founder of Growthset Coaching. Stephanie's Legal journey was a constant tug and pull with the Law. With a Global upbringing and having lived in Costa Rica for a couple of years, College brought her interests together, and she decided the legal route was for her. Stephanie and I started after she graduated from Mount Holyoke College. She would go on to join the Women's Bar Association, which she highly suggests, and also become a Legal Assistant for a year.

Following this, Stephanie spoke about her first year at Cooley Law School, saying that it was incredibly difficult, overwhelming, and truly an experience unlike anything else she has ever encountered. She suggested how crucial having a support system is, talking to Peers at the school, and saying yes to every opportunity you can get your hands on. Also, Stephanie suggested using a physical timer to keep you focused and using your voice to study while cooking, cleaning, or any other daily activities. Finally, we spoke about her experiences after Law School, finding what sector of the Law she enjoyed most. Each experience would be delved into, leading us to her opening Growthset Coaching, something that stemmed from her experience as a TA, helping Neurodivergent Law Students gain the techniques and principles they need to flourish in Law School.

Línea editorial. Cadena Cope. Violeta Barrios Torres, es el nombre de la heroína que ha fallecido a la edad de 94 años, ha muerto en el exilio en San José de Costa Rica, porque la dictadura de Ortega la expulsó de Nicaragua. Durante siete años, entre 1990 y 1997, Violeta Chamorro, como era conocida por el apellido de su marido, ocupó la presidencia de su país. Había sido parte de la Junta de Gobierno de Reconstrucción Nacional después de la derrota de Somoza, pero en su defensa de la democracia y contra la dictadura marcó una distancia insalvable frente al sandinismo.

Costa Rica is home to an incredible amount of natural biodiversity. But it's also an ideal spot to grow some of the world's favorite crops, like coffee. How can farmers conserve biodiversity while still meeting global demand for coffee?Today we hear Mariano, an agronomist and coffee producer from Costa Rica, and Javier Peris from Syngenta, about the dynamic relationship between agriculture and biodiversity. ”When you plant a coffee, you spend. 20, 25, 30 years or more with the coffee plant. So that allows you to be part of the ecosystem for all those years. So it's easy to think (in terms of) long term, relationships with the local ecosystems. For example, conservation soil techniques is one of the things that we are doing, and maybe is the main technique or strategy to increase biodiversity and resilience in the local ecosystem that you are producing coffee.” - Mariano, Costa Rican Coffee FarmerMariano is an agronomist whose family has grown coffee in Costa Rica for almost a hundred years. In the past decade, they've really focused on transitioning to more regenerative practices. He explains how they've moved from conventional coffee farming methods to more ecologically-conscious solutions, and what this means for his business and his soil health. Alongside Mariano, you'll hear from Javier Peris, a biologist at Syngenta. Javier has worked with Syngenta for the past ten years, mostly in research and development, but he has recently transition to a new role in sustainability where he is a nature specialist. He describes Syngenta's “Living Grow” program which  promotes biodiversity and soil health in agricultural ecosystems while maintaining agricultural productivity. This Week on Soil Sense:Meet Mariano and Javier Peris and learn about how coffee farms can embrace regenerative practicesDiscover the Living Grow program in Costa Rica and the collaboration taking place to help farmers boost productivity while conserving biodiversityExplore why Javier calls Mariano's farm “like another world” Understand the connection between soil health and overall biodiversityThe  Soil Sense podcast is for those that believe building healthier soils is not just a prescription, but rather a pursuit. On this show, we unpack the way farmers collaborate to build healthier soils and adapt systems to work on their farm for both sustainability and profitability.Thank you to Syngenta for sponsoring this season of the Soil Sense podcast.

In the face of insect decline, it is critical for us to understand pollinator health both in terms of influencing factors and how to monitor those impacts. Today we are specifically focusing on bees.To talk about some exciting research in this field is Dr. Laura (la-u-ra) Figueroa (fig-eh-row-ah). Laura is an Assistant Professor in the Environmental Conservation Department at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She was previously a National Science Foundation post-doctoral research fellow, and completed her PhD in entomology at Cornell University. Laura is broadly interested in insect conservation, with a focus on the health of pollinators in changing landscapes and the impacts of climate change. She has worked in temperate regions (primarily the Northeastern US) as well as in the tropics (in Costa Rica and in Colombia), and her active research program seeks to answer pressing questions in the field of pollinator conservation.---Photo: Sara Morris / CC BY-NC 2.0Thank you for listening!

Acaba de finalizar la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Océanos (UNOC3) que han organizado en Niza, Francia y Costa Rica.

"Nobody listened to our ideas, so we decided to take over the market." That fearless approach is how Cecilia Lihv went from cleaning houses as an immigrant to owning a European men's professional football club.In this captivating conversation, Cecilia shares her extraordinary journey from the toxicity of Wall Street to becoming one of only five women in Europe who own professional men's soccer teams. When faced with resistance in a nonprofit soccer organization run by ego-driven board members who ignored her innovative proposals, Cecilia didn't just walk away—she built something better. Her youth club in Connecticut grew to nearly 1,000 children before COVID-19 forced a pivotal decision.Rather than waiting out the pandemic, Cecilia sold everything, moved her children to Costa Rica, and established a professional soccer development center that thrived while American facilities remained closed. That bold move led to purchasing her first professional team and eventually taking ownership of a historic Romanian club dating back to 1921.As Cecilia navigates the male-dominated European football world, she brings a refreshing perspective that combines business acumen with genuine care for player development. Her insights on gender inequality in sports are particularly powerful, questioning why the successful US women's national team receives a fraction of the resources given to the men's team.Beyond sports, Cecilia speaks passionately about the immigrant experience, having arrived in America at 18 with two suitcases and worked as a nanny and cleaning lady before building her career. Her story is a masterclass in creating new paths when traditional ones are blocked and refusing to accept limitations placed by others.Listen now and discover why sometimes the most effective way to break a glass ceiling isn't by shattering it—but by building something entirely new alongside it.More about Cecilia:Cecilia Lihv is a pioneering female entrepreneur making bold moves in the male-dominated world of professional football. She is the president and owner of a historic men's football club in Europe, SoccerViza, where she's leading a powerful revival both on and off the pitch. With over 25 years of experience building businesses across industries—from retail to real estate—she brings a fearless, results-driven mindset to everything she does.Beyond the boardroom, she's a proud single mom raising three children, proving every day that strength, strategy, and heart go hand in hand. Her story is one of resilience, passion, and redefining the rules in sports and business.www.soccerviza.comSoccerViza InstagramFind Mia On Social Media ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Send us a textThis is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast I am delighted to welcome Gian and Angie, two cruisers living out two amazing stories on a cruise ship. That's right, two amazing stories. The first is living on a cruise ship, Villa Vie Odyssey for the next three years, circumnavigating the globe and in the process visiting 147 countries across all seven continents—425 port stops in all. Anyone who is a regular listener of The Joy of Cruising Podcast knows I wouldn't hesitate to host Gian & Angie on the show at some point during their dream voyage. There's a second amazing story Gian & Angie are a part of—it became world news—and it is how they came to my attention. For background, Villa Vie Odyssey was originally due to sail from Belfast, Ireland in May 2024. Two passengers, who did not know each other, Angela Harsanyi from Colorado, and Gian Perroni, from Canada were awaiting sail away day when shortly before, an urgent need for some major repairs were uncovered, that would take several months. Some of the passengers chose discounted vacations around Europe; others remained in Belfast and worked remotely—including both Gian and Angie, who still had not met. Some time during the ensuing months Gian and Angie found each other; then they found love. Villa Vie Odyssey finally sailed in September 2024. When the ship stopped at Costa Rica, a couple of dozen friends and family members joined the several hundred passengers aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey for Gian and Angie wedding. Gian Perroni is from Vancouver, Canada, and prior to embarking on the Odyssey spent the previous 6 years living in Costa Rica.  He is still working full time in the online marketing space and has a dedicated office with a great view onboard the ship.  Gian has 2 adult children from a previous marriage, both of whom were in the wedding party. Angie Harsanyi, now Perroni, is from Colorado, and was a successful salon owner for more than three decades.  She's an avid outdoors person that loves to spend winters snow-biking, and summers exploring nature, including living for a time in both Yellowstone and Alaska. Neither Gian or Angie were cruisers in the past, and neither joined the Odyssey expecting to find love, but rather simply looking for an exciting change in their lives.  As it turned out, the delayed launch of the ship gave them the time to explore Belfast together and become great friends before they became a couple. Their back-to-back weddings onboard couldn't have been more perfect!Support the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

Costa Rica tuvo una participación en la tercera Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Océanos (UNOC3) que debe ser evaluada desde varias perspectivas. Se logró, una vez más, posicionar como líder global en temas de conservación y protección ambiental. En este caso del recurso marino, que representa el 71% de la superficie planetaria, en donde habita la mayor cantidad de biodiversidad y factor fundamental para la temperatura global. Pero no se debe soslayar que debe demostrar coherencia entre su discurso internacional y las acciones locales, que son evidencia más de la atención urgente que requiere, desde la política pública, la gobernanza marina para ser sostenible y adecuada a las condiciones actuales. Atender temas como la sobrepesca y el uso abusivo de agroquímicos en ríos costeros, son más que alertas. Un aporte fue vincular océanos con justicia climática, aunque todo queda sujeto a una aplicación real y efectiva post-cumbre, que supere las declaraciones no vinculantes y ausencia de mecanismos claros de reducción de la contaminación que afecta estos cuerpos de agua. Una mancha oscura, como país coorganizador, fue los espacios limitados a representantes de comunidades, organizaciones civiles, no gubernamentales y el retiro de acreditación a científicos de la Universidad de Costa Rica, limitando su participación en el evento. Para profundizar estos extremos conversaremos con el consultor, presidente del Parlamento Cívico Ambiental y vicepresidente de la ONG Artes Justeco, Bernardo Aguilar y con el director de Four the Oceans y presidente de Comisión Marina del Parlamento Ambiental, Jorge Serendero.

Miguel Gutiérrez SaxeEl Programa Estado de la Nación presentó en estos días el V Estado de la Justicia. Entre muchos datos y apreciaciones fundadas, es claro , que el Poder judicial en Costa Rica es realmente complejo, mucho más que en otras latitudes. En ese sentido, intenta dar respuestas, con amplia independencia, a un país que ha tomado decisiones para ampliar los derechos de sus habitantes, que es un estado de derecho, y que cada vez tiene muchos más y variados litigios.#larevistacr @lsrevistacr www.larevista.cr#miguelgutierrezsaxe

Today, John opens up about the emotional complexity of leaving Los Angeles for a new chapter in Costa Rica. He delves into the ideas of the "remembering self" and the "experiencing self," revealing how our memories often shape — and sometimes distort — the way we make decisions. I'm running a 7-Day "Done with the Bullsh*t" Detox  — this isn't the kind with green juice and caffeine withdrawals. It's a soul-level cleanse. Here's what you'll detox each day: Day 1: Cancel old contracts — the silent agreements you never meant to make. Day 2: Break up with people-pleasing and reclaim your no. Day 3: Unfollow the fantasy and stop chasing someone else's timeline. Day 4: Mute your inner critic and replace it with compassion. Day 5: Cut out comparison and come back to your own path. Day 6: Starve the reflex to fix everything — choose stillness instead. Day 7: Fast from the noise and finally hear yourself again. This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about coming home to who you've always been. This challenge is only $7 and starts June 16th. ⁠⁠SIGN UP HERE⁠⁠. Order John's new book, Break Up. On Purpose,⁠ HERE⁠ Jump into John's new Single.

Es un tema de altísima gravedad. De los 80 mil casos que se denuncian al año por violencia contra las mujeres, un 80% de esos se quedan de camino, debido a trámites que en algunos casos duran hasta 10 años. Esa realidad la registra el Quinto Informe de la Justicia, que vuelve a poner foco en un tema que no se debe soslayar. El informe llega a concluir que tan solo un 13% de las denuncias vinculadas a estas agresiones logran terminar en un juicio. Del año 2019 al 2022 la mayoría de los casos no lograron superar la etapa preliminar, la mayoría fueron desestimados y con sobreseimiento definitivo. Las raíces profundas y variados elementos que conforman esta realidad ocupan de muchos abordajes, que aporten educación, información, para fomentar el conocimiento y la sensibilidad. Desde la primera semana de junio y durante lo que resta del año 2025 y durante el 2026, Costa Rica será sede de la exposición ¿Qué llevabas puesto?, una muestra que busca generar conciencia sobre la violencia sexual y combatir la idea errónea de que la vestimenta provoca o justifica una agresión sexual. La muestra está en la Galería Nacional del Museo de los Niños y a partir de julio iniciará un recorrido nacional por las 7 provincias, para llevar un mensaje claro, directo y vivencial. Para hacer repaso a este hallazgo del nuevo informe sobre la justicia e invitar a conocer esta iniciativa conversaremos con la comunicadora y especialista en temas de género, Thais Aguilar y una de las responsables de la exposición, Natalia Hernández.

“Inéditos ataques políticos y criminales asedian al Poder Judicial en detrimento de la calidad de la democracia”. La contundente conclusión del Quinto Informe del Estado de la Justicia de Costa Rica indica que esos embates provienen, en gran medida, del gobierno de Rodrigo Chaves y evidencia una táctica de debilitar las instituciones. Esto es un asunto serio, que nos convoca a una reflexión profunda y con argumentos para lograr desentrañar las intenciones que un clima de hostilidad sistemático provoca, no solo con los perjuicios directos, sino con las afectaciones que nos impactarán como ciudadanía. Bajo ataque, pero resistiendo dada su solvencia probada de años. Sin ser aún un problema estructural, la desconfianza hacia sus funciones ha ido en aumento, tomando como referencia la posición que tenía hace tres años, fecha del informe anterior. Hoy 2 de cada 3 ciudadanos afirman que hay lentitud en su trabajo, pero a pesar de esto se continúa con una cultura permanente de judicializar muchos asuntos. Uno de los puntos fuertes es que recupera y crece su presupuesto, pero debe mejorar su distribución, ya que es desigual dada la sobrecarga en materia penal, delincuencia organizada, y delitos contra la vida que se duplicaron. Ante el aumento de criminalidad y violencia homicida, la Asamblea Legislativa le ha asignado más competencias, pero sin nuevos recursos económicos en temas de seguridad. Es necesario, se señala, que trabaje en coordinación con otras entidades y más de cerca de las personas. El presidente del Poder Judicial, Orlando Aguirre, reconoció la objetividad e independencia del estudio, al reconocer que señalan adelantos y desafíos y enfatiza en avances en acceso, eficiencia y legitimidad. Hacemos una revisión de algunos aspectos relevantes del informe, con la coordinadora de este informe, Evelyn Villarreal.

Today we have Kimmy. She is 34 years old from Montrose, Colorado and took her last drink on April 3rd, 2017.   This episode brought to you by Better Help – 10% off of your first month Café RE – THE social app for sober people   Here are some upcoming events at RE: Bozeman Retreat from August 6th-20th, 2025 Peru in October (registration closed) Dry January 2026 Ukelele Course in February 2026 Costa Rica in February 2026 AF Songwriting Course in March 2026   [04:12] Thoughts from Paul:   A few weeks ago, Paul did an intro titled “How to Let Go” and then told us that had no idea how to let go. Since that episode, he has started looking at this from another angle.   Paul shares that there was a time in his life that he would drink over things that he was unable to let go of. He says that progress has not been in letting things go, but it has been in his reactions to events and happenings in life.   When drinking everything was a knee jerk reaction with no space between the stimulus and the response. Recovery has taught him how to pause, to wait, to gather his thoughts before responding to an event or trigger.   One strategy with this is to not add a good or bad label to whatever happens in life. What seems like an unfortunate life event now may later turn out to be a great thing. Our reactions to life in general are the key to letting go. If we lean into the space between stimulus and response, and remain neutral to all of life's unfolding, there will be less that needs to be let go of.   [08:59] Paul introduces Kimmy:   Kimmy grew up Big Fork, Montana and grew up riding horses and competing in barrel racing and rodeos. She says overall she had a good childhood.   Kimmy says that she had her first drink when she was 17 and feels that drinking was a problem for her right from the start. Several events that happened in her teens drove Kimmy to use alcohol to cope with her feelings around them. She would take shots of her mom's liquor and then drive 30 minutes to school already drunk.   After leaving college, a friend of Kimmy's said she was moving to Telluride for ski season. Kimmy went with her and while the friend left after the season was over, Kimmy stayed because she enjoyed it there.   After having multiple rock bottom moments, Kimmy tried different techniques to quit drinking or moderate. They all backfired, she says. Eventually she turned to her faith in a moment of surrender. She didn't quit drinking instantly, but over time grew to see that alcohol was no longer doing anything for her.   Kimmy took her last drink at the end of the ski season in 2017. It was one beer, and she isn't even sure she finished it. She was able to quit and after nine months told her father, who also drinks, and he was so proud of her she just wanted to keep going.   Kimmy says working has been a big part of her recovery as she currently has four jobs. She stays close to her faith and although she doesn't attend church, she reads her bible frequently. Kimmy has goals now and shares that she didn't really have any after getting derailed by some events in her teenage years and turning to alcohol. It has taken time, but Kimmy is getting back to riding and competing and sees this current year of sobriety as a year of redemption as she looks forward to improving in these endeavors.   Recovery Elevator It all starts from the inside out.
