Diego Miranda
Costa RicapoliticianMale5.3Global Dominance: 0.00%Diego Miranda is the mayor of San José, Costa Rica, who has been in the spotlight due to the ongoing suspension of the city's parking meter system. He announced a new parking meter initiative in July 2024, aimed at improving municipal finances by saving over ¢700 million annually. However, the implementation has faced delays, leading to significant revenue losses for the municipality, with projections suggesting a shortfall of over ¢2 billion. Miranda has faced scrutiny from the Internal Audit of the municipality and is currently under investigation by the Public Prosecutor's Office for allegedly suspending the meter system without proper legal backing.
