A Just Costa Rica (Spanish: Costa Rica Justa; CRJ) is a Costa Rican political party. It nominated engineer Rolando Araya Monge as a presidential candidate for the 2022 Costa Rican general election.
Costa Rica Justa was founded by the deputy Dragos Dolanescu Valenciano, originally president and elected deputy for the Social Christian Republican Party. He resigned from the party when the executive committee denounced him before the Public Ministry for alleged irregularities in the handling of funds.[1] Dolanescu announced in social media that he will be meassuing the level of popular support in order to decide whether he will be presidential candidate.[2]
After completing the registration process, the presidential candidacy was offered to former minister and two-time previous presidential candidate Rolando Araya, who lost the 2021 National Liberation Party convention, finishing second. Araya was elected not only presidential candidate but as head of the list for the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica.[3][4]
