Ricardo Sossa

Ricardo Sossa is a former Costa Rican commissioner of Social Inclusion who has recently been in the news for denying allegations made by former Minister of Culture Nayuribe Guadamuz. He asserts that he did not pressure her into signing a decree that declared the 2024 LGBTQ+ Pride march as a cultural interest. Following the decree's annulment by President Rodrigo Chaves, Sossa defended himself against claims that he exerted undue influence over government officials, suggesting that Guadamuz's statements were politically motivated as she now seeks a position in the legislature.
