When contra leaders gathered in San José, Costa Rica, in late November to discuss a program for their post-Sandinista government, not all of their top men were in attendance. Arturo Cruz and Alfonso Robelo, leaders of the United Nicaraguan Opposition, showed up for the talks, but Adolfo Calero, head of the Nicaraguan Democratic Force, and Enrique Bermúdez, the contras' military chief, were conspicuous by their absence. Costa Rica's President, Oscar Arias Sanchez, who considers both men military rather than political figures, had denied them visas. Oscar Arias, the nominee of Monge's ruling National Liberation Party, took office in May as the peace candidate.
