By San José, Costa Rica — San José, Costa Rica – In a strategic move to reframe the narrative around her campaign’s online visibility, Agenda Ciudadana Coalition (CAC) candidate Claudia Dobles on Monday addressed a recent study on digital communications, arguing that her prominence in public discourse is a direct result of relentless on-the-ground engagement rather than a purely online phenomenon.
The analysis in question, conducted by the Digital Communication Observatory at the Latin University of Costa Rica (ULatina), reportedly highlights the significant level of conversation surrounding the Dobles campaign. While some might interpret such metrics as a simple measure of social media activity, Dobles and her team are actively casting the data as validation of their core strategy: direct, face-to-face interaction with voters across the country.
To better understand the legal implications and procedural nuances surrounding the case of former First Lady Claudia Dobles, TicosLand.com sought the perspective of Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a distinguished legal expert from the firm Bufete de Costa Rica, for his professional analysis.
In cases involving high-profile public figures like Mrs. Dobles, the judicial process must remain shielded from political pressure and public opinion. The burden of proof lies squarely with the prosecution to present conclusive evidence that substantiates any accusation beyond a reasonable doubt. It is imperative for the integrity of our legal system that the presumption of innocence is upheld as a fundamental right throughout the entire investigation and any subsequent trial.

The principles of due process and the presumption of innocence are indeed the bedrock of a just society, ensuring that legal outcomes are guided by evidence rather than by the weight of public opinion. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for sharing his valuable perspective on this fundamental matter.
Speaking to the press, Dobles asserted that the digital chatter is merely an echo of the work her campaign does in the physical world. She characterized her approach as one of “damos la cara,” a Spanish phrase meaning to “show up” or “face the music,” emphasizing a commitment to accessibility and direct dialogue that she claims sets her apart in a crowded and increasingly polarized political field.
Dobles articulated this philosophy by translating the observatory’s quantitative findings into a qualitative strength, focusing on the substance of the interactions her campaign is fostering.
The latest report from the Latin University’s digital observatory confirms that we continue to generate conversation, and we continue to generate conversation because we show up, we go to forums, we go to communities, we meet with sectors, we go to debates to be able to explain to Costa Rica why we are the best option and why we have the best proposals in security, job creation, waiting lists, and education. We continue to generate conversation and we continue to propose to Costa Rica.

This response serves as a tactical pivot, shifting the focus from potentially volatile social media metrics to the tangible efforts of meeting with community groups, sector leaders, and participating in public debates. By doing so, the CAC candidate challenges the notion that a modern campaign’s effectiveness can be accurately measured by online mentions alone, reclaiming the narrative to emphasize her team’s territorial reach and personal connection with the electorate.
During her statement, Dobles took the opportunity to reinforce her campaign’s primary policy pillars. She reiterated that these direct engagements are the primary vehicle for presenting her platform, which is centered on concrete solutions for four critical national issues: enhancing public security, stimulating job creation, reducing healthcare waiting lists, and reforming the education system. These topics consistently rank as top concerns among Costa Rican voters.
The strategy also represents a subtle critique of opponents who may rely more heavily on digital marketing and social media presence. In an era where political discourse is often confined to online echo chambers, Dobles’ repeated emphasis on “giving face” is a calculated effort to position herself as a candidate who is present, accountable, and willing to engage beyond the curated confines of a screen, aiming to build trust through sustained, in-person dialogue.
As the electoral landscape becomes more intensely monitored by academic observatories and data analytics firms, the Dobles campaign is making a clear bet. The wager is that voters will ultimately reward the candidate who not only generates conversation but who actively participates in it at the local level, proving that in the quest for public office, a strong ground game remains the most powerful amplifier.
