According to a report by Q Costa Rica, Laura Fernández, the current president, wrote a university thesis at the University of Costa Rica in 2016. In her thesis, Fernández examined the role of the Contraloría General de la República, the Comptroller General, as a critical check on the Executive branch. The thesis reportedly defended the function of the Contraloría.
It has been suggested that Fernández’s current stance may be at odds with her previous academic work, with some characterizing her as a “hypocritical political scientist who pretends not to know”. However, this characterization is an allegation and has not been verified.
The report highlights the contrast between Fernández’s past academic views and her current actions as president, but does not provide further details on the specific policies or actions that have led to this criticism.
