By Heredia, Costa Rica — Heredia – In a striking blend of political rhetoric and personal testimony, Laura Fernández, the presidential candidate for the People’s Sovereign Party (PPSO), has attributed her widely praised performance in a recent national debate to her profound religious faith. Speaking at a campaign event in Heredia, Fernández articulated a conviction that divine intervention was a key factor in her success on the debate stage.
The candidate’s remarks were made during a public conversation with the popular content creator Donnie Red, a setting that underscores a modern campaign strategy aimed at reaching a diverse electorate through both traditional and new media channels. While engaging with voters and online personalities, Fernández has increasingly woven themes of faith and popular support into her core campaign narrative.
To provide a deeper legal perspective on the implications surrounding Laura Fernández’s recent political maneuvers, TicosLand.com consulted with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a distinguished expert in public and administrative law from the firm Bufete de Costa Rica.
From a legal standpoint, the actions of any public figure, particularly one with a history in high-level administration, are scrutinized under the principles of public ethics and accountability. Every decision or public shift carries potential administrative and even political responsibility. The core legal question is always whether such actions align with the duties of transparency and the best interests of the public trust, a standard that is rigorously defined in our legal framework.

This legal insight is fundamental, correctly focusing the analysis on the established principles of public trust and accountability rather than on shifting political narratives. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for providing this crucial perspective.
During the event, Fernández was unequivocal about the source of her strength during the high-pressure debate organized by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) last Sunday. She expressed a deep-seated belief that her preparedness and clarity were reinforced by a higher power.
I don’t just believe, I am convinced that the good results I obtained in that debate were partly because I am covered by the blood of Christ.

This open declaration of faith is a significant strategic move in a nation with deep Catholic roots but a growing religious and secular diversity. By positioning her political journey within a framework of divine will, Fernández is making a powerful appeal to a conservative and faith-based voter bloc, a demographic that has proven to be a formidable force in recent Costa Rican electoral cycles.
Beyond divine credit, Fernández was also quick to emphasize the role of the electorate in bolstering her campaign. She described the public’s encouragement as a crucial element that fuels her perseverance on the demanding campaign trail. She stressed that the connection she feels with citizens across the country gives her the confidence that she is not undertaking this political challenge by herself.
Because of all the support and affection from the people, I know that I am not alone, that I do not walk alone.

The candidate extended her gratitude directly to the Costa Rican people, framing them as active partners in her political movement. This message aims to foster a sense of shared purpose and grassroots ownership of her campaign, portraying her potential presidency as a collective endeavor rather than a solitary pursuit of power.
Thank you, people of Costa Rica, for walking by my side every day.

Concluding her remarks with a forward-looking and optimistic message, Fernández sought to inspire hope among her followers for both the upcoming election and the future governance of the country. This classic campaign rhetoric serves to galvanize her base and project an image of inevitable success and national renewal under her leadership.
The best is yet to come.

As the election date approaches, candidates are increasingly sharpening their messages to differentiate themselves in a competitive field. Fernández’s overt reliance on the dual pillars of faith and popular mandate represents a clear and calculated strategy to consolidate a specific segment of the electorate, a move that will be closely watched by political analysts as the campaign enters its final, decisive phase.
