Thursday and
Friday of Semana Santa Will Be "Dry"
As in the past, on Good Thursday (April 9)
and Good Friday (April 10), Costa Rica will
be dry. No liquor, no wine, no beer, no
alcohol will be allowed to be sold anywhere.
The "ley seca" continues and businesses,
liquor stores, restaurants and supermarkets,
for instance, who violate the law, will be
fined.
The "“ Ley de regulación de horario de
funcionamiento en expendios de bebidas
alcohólicas”, commonly known as Ley 7.633,
prohibits the sale for the 48 hours from the
start of Good Thursday to the end of Good
Friday.
The responsibility falls on the
municipalities to enforce the law, which
customarily means an inspection by a
municipal official and/or the municipal
police to place a "sello" (seal) on the
merchandise.
Supermarkets have to close off their liquor
section or remove it entirely from the
shelves, restuarants have to lock up the
liquor cabinets and beer coolers and liquor
stores, for the major part, close entirely.
The ministra de Seguridad, Jannian Del
Vecchio, said that where the municipality
cannot complete its functions, members of
the Fuerza Pública (national police) will be
on hand to enforce the law.
