Bolivia Crisis Spillover: Protests and road blockades have left La Paz “under siege,” with markets empty and hospital oxygen running low—at least three deaths reported after emergency access was blocked, while security forces detained 57 people during clashes. Regional Politics & Migration: The unrest is unfolding alongside wider Central American anxiety over U.S. migration pacts, with Costa Rica still receiving deportation flights under the bilateral deal. Costa Rican Arts Spotlight: Costa Rica’s film scene gets a Cannes boost: director Valentina Maurel’s Forever Your Maternal Animal is in Un Certain Regard, adding another rare official Cannes door for Costa Rican feature work. Local Culture Calendar: Sports fans get a crossover event—Extreme American Rodeo 2026 hits La Sabana June 7, bringing bull riding and cowboy culture to the National Stadium. Digital Shift: TikTok has overtaken Instagram in Costa Rica, now used by 58% of adults with mobile phones, reshaping how arts and tourism promotion may reach audiences.
