President (Luis Guillermo) SolГs was emphatic about the main priority of the Government being humanitarian, to ensure that migrant men, women and children have all the proper conditions of food, medical and psychological care, blankets and shelter to cope with the difficult situation they face at the northern border.Д¬osta Rica is known for its respect for everyone's human rights.

The Costa Rican Chancellery has been more active than ever, with regular press releases:Д®l Presidente (Luis Guillermo) SolГs fue enfГЎtico en que la principal prioridad del Gobierno es de carГЎcter humanitaria, para garantizar que hombres, mujeres y niГ±os migrantes tengan las condiciones adecuadas de alimentaciГіn, atenciГіn mГ©dica y psicolГіgica, cobija y techo para afrontar la difГcil situaciГіn que afrontan en la frontera norte. Besides the pastoral one, there were three additional shelters in La Cruz, and on Wednesday another was was inaugurated in Liberia. Until Wednesday, 883 people stayed at shelters set up by the National Commission of Emergencies, supported by several organizations. It's a chilly Monday evening and on the hillside of the pampa is unfolding a border drama that has some 2.000 Cubans stranded in Costa Rica, given the refusal by Nicaragua to allow them to go ahead and resume their journey to the United States. You can see the moon over La Cruz de Guanacaste, 16 kilometers away from the border with Nicaragua. AdemГЎs de la pastoral, se izaron tres refugios adicionales en La Cruz, y el miГ©rcoles se inaugurГі otro en Liberia. Hasta el miГ©rcoles, 883 personas permanecГan en albergues instaurados por la ComisiГіn Nacional de Emergencias, con el apoyo de mГєltiples organizaciones. EstГЎ fresca la noche del lunes y en las faldas de la pampa se ha desatado desde el domingo un drama fronterizo que tiene a unos 2.000 cubanos anclados en Costa Rica, dada la negativa de Nicaragua de permitirles transitar y retomar su romerГa hacia los Estados Unidos. Se deja ver la luna en La Cruz de Guanacaste, a 16 kilГіmetros de la frontera con Nicaragua. Their situation has been at the center of the news for several days:

But there was no welcome to Nicaragua for Cuban migrants stranded in Costa Rica.

вЂњWelcome to NicaraguaвЂќ, reads the banner.
