Abstract

On May 1st 2011 the election of the legislative directory in Costa Rica took place in an atypical way, after several irregular acts at the plenary session. Given that fact it is important to analyze the opinion and perceptions of the Costa Rican people concerning those legislative practices. This objective has been assumed by the Institute of Social Studies on Population (IDESPO according to acronym in Spanish) by mean of a national survey, aiming to describe several outstanding political facts like the next ones: the distribution of the different political parties represented in the Legislative Assembly, the composition of the legislative directory, the relationship between the Executive Branch and the Legislative Assembly, the relationship among the different political parties, and the performance of the different power structures of the republic.
