		Saturday, the president of Costa Rica, Dr. Abel Pacheco de la Espriella, was named the International Shark Enemy of the Year.

		President Pacheco has spoken publicly against shark finning, his Ministry of Environment (MINAE) has fought hard to protect sharks and promote marine conservation, and Congress has approved laws to ban the finning of sharks; however, the policies of Customs and the INCOPESCA clearly have brought this prize on the President and on Costa Rica.

		With this, the past administration committed two serious errors: one the one hand, it substantially restricted the scope of its actions on disability issues, restricting itself to the efforts made by the Office of the First Lady.
		Bitter in the since that, while being presidential candidate Dr. Pacheco, particularly during a public debate on disability, showed ignorance of the topic and held the traditional patronizing (assistencialist) approach regarding the problems and needs of the population with disabilities.
		Even his idea of creating citadels so that people with disabilities could live and provide the country a cheaper solution to the accessibility needs for transportation and other services, was rejected by the leaders and activists of the disability community, who concluded that the proposal had hidden "ghetto" misconceptions which are contrary to inclusion.
