Casa Presidencial On The Move
President Oscar Arias took no
time to make it known that he
favours moving Casa Presidencial
from its current location Zapote
to the Centro Nacional de
Cultura (Cenac) in downtown San
José.
Arias said that the downtown
area is more favourable for the
centre of government, being
close to many other government
installations, like the Foreign
Ministry (Casa Amarilla) at the
corner.
The Cenac downtown location is
also closer to the Arias home in
Rohrmoser.
No date has been set to the move
and the president has chosen to
use his home as temporary
headquarters for the
presidential office, making
public his feelings that he
doesn't much care for the
current Casa Presidencial,
preferring to work from home and
hold meetings there.
The move may become a reality as
Arias is expected to hold
serious meetings with Culture
Minister, María Elena Carballo,
and will be seeking opinions
from other cabinet ministers on
the move.
Monday's inauguration
celebrations moved from the
Estadio Nacional to the Cenac
facility rather than Casa
Presidencial in Zapote, where
foreign dignitaries were treated
to lunch.
