Central American Reunification
Central American reunification, sometimes called Central Americanism, is the proposed political union of the countries of Central America (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua), which had historically occurred during the existence of the Federal Republic of Central America. It is distinct from the Central American integration process, which is a diplomatic initiative similar to that of the European Union. Currently the civil organization ''Movimiento Ciudadano para la Integración Centroamericana'' (Citizen Movement for Central American Integration) founded in 2014 actively seeks Central American reunification, having chapters in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras (in addition to some local chapters), Nicaragua, and in the Central American diaspora (Australia, Italy, Spain, and the United States), but not in Costa Rica.

Workers' Party (Costa Rica)
The Workers' Party ( es, Partido de los Trabajadores) is a far-left Trotskyist political party of Costa Rica. The party was founded on 1 May 2012 on the basis of the student organization ''Movement toward Socialism'' led by labor union leader and lawyer Hector Monestel, and currently holds no seats in parliament nor municipal offices. It is a member of the International Workers League – Fourth International. Highly critical of the more moderate Broad Front (the main left-wing party of Costa Rica), it proclaims itself as a "classist and socialist alternative". Internationalism is one of its guidelines and as such it proposes the re-establishment of the Federal Republic of Central America abolished in 1838, reuniting all Central American countries in one single socialist Federation. It also defends feminist, environmentalist and pro-LGBTI ideas. The party contested the 2014 elections with Monestel as nominee obtaining 4,897 votos (0,24%) for the presidential ticket and 12,998 ...
