Yes, while this will likely give Nicaragua a win in the ICJ and is hardly environmentally sensitive, the really disgusting thing for those of us in CR is that none of the criminals who were part of the brazen corruption appear to have been prosecuted. This is after a group of them burned through thousands of stolen dollars in one night in a strip club. The corruption is egregious.

and….after 15 months or so, no one has been brought to trial for the incredible corruption involved in this road. $32M down the drain. Protected trees cut down, erosion, collapsed bridges, payments to phantom construction companies, over-billing, etc.

Whereas Nicaragua through Eden Pastora dug 2 new canals, Nica has already agreed to remedy the situation by covering them up.
Costa Rica refuses to do anything.

If one wants to assure a win, one must take care to only “mitigate” damage or minimize the effects of a certain decision. La Trocha was a knee-jerk C.R. government reaction that may come back to haunt them during the course of these ICJ hearings. It seems now a case of the pot calling the kettle black. A fiasco indeed!

Nica is a interesting place. Roads? What a joke. Environmentalist? Gold mining on the east coast is out of control. Some has been Sandanista hero has been digging in the rio and the boss claims he didnt know it. Whoopie, free chickens for everyone.
