Leda Acevedo

Leda Acevedo is the manager of Telecommunications at ICE (Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad), the state-owned electricity and telecommunications provider in Costa Rica. She recently made headlines for her involvement in the controversy surrounding the withdrawal of advertising from the television program 'El Chinamo.' Acevedo stated that the values of Kölbi, a subsidiary of ICE, did not align with the content of the satirical segment 'Chinaoke,' which critiqued the government. Her remarks reflect the ongoing tensions between state entities and media freedom in Costa Rica, especially concerning the implications of censorship and the importance of editorial independence.
