Former
President Calderón Insists He Will Run in
2010 Despite Rejection
Former Costa Rican president, Rafael Ángel
Calderón, on trial for fraud and
embezzlement, insists that he will still run
for president in 2010.
Calderón, accused of fraud and embezzlement
in the Caja-Fischel cases, insists that he
will be the 2010 PUSC candidate despite
popular rejection of his candidacy that the
polls indicate.
Calderón is confident that he will be found
not guilty.
"No on has been able to prove yet I
committed any crime", said Calderón, adding
that when he was eleted president in 1990,
48% of the people were against him, but won
the election anyways.
According to the latest poll by Demoscopía
for the Al Día in November 2008, 80.8% said
they would not vote for the former president
in the 2010 elections.
A Unimer poll for the La Nación done in
February shows that Calderón is the most
rejected politician in the country, with 33%
saying "never" would they vote for him.
The poll indicates that 14% would not vote
for Ottón Solís, 10% no for Johnny Araya and
5% no vote for Laura Chinchilla.
