Tourism
Minister Expected To Resign Today
The ministro de Turismo, Carlos Ricardo
Benavides, is expected to tender his
resignation today to join the presidential
campaign of Laura Chinchilla.
Benavides is expected to form part of the
Comando de Campaña committee for the Partido
Liberación Nacional to get Chinchilla
elected president in 2010.
The departure is no surprise. For months it
has been rumoured that Benavides would leave
his post to join the Chinchilla campaign,
who has been a key figure in party politics,
heading the PLN legislators in the previous
government before being appointed to the
ministry by president Arias.
Benavides and Chinchilla have a history of
working together, not only in the
legislature, but also in the current
government when Chinchilla held the post of
the country's vice-president.
