Journalists of La Nación v. Costa Rica was a proceeding brought before the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice of Costa Rica. It involved a group of employees from the newspaper La Nación who accused President Rodrigo Chaves Robles and Minister of Health Joselyn Chacón Madrigal of violating press freedom. This complaint came after the closure of a recreational park owned by the economic group affiliated with the newspaper, which the journalists claimed was an act of retaliation. Following publications reported that Chaves had been previously sanctioned by the World Bank for sexual harassment, as well as other press releases critical of the presidential and government administration.[1]
