The National Assembly deputies approved, in the first debate, a bill to declare August 31st, the Day of the Black Person and Afro-Costa Rican Culture , free for the working population.“The declaration as a non-compulsory holiday is a necessary recognition and responds to a wide clamor of the Limonense population with the purpose of consolidating this celebration,” said Eduardo Cruickshank, proposing deputy.
In addition, this would allow a broad participation of all the inhabitants of the country in the activities carried out around this date, the legislator continued. In this way, August 31st would be added to the other two holidays on the calendar that are non-mandatory. It is about August 2nd, Day of the Virgin of the Angels, and December 1st, which commemorates the abolition of the army.
