[2] Fallas resigned after facing criticism from Pacheco and PUSC over the amount of money available for low-income housing.

Fallas follows PAC's platform of concern for the health of the national economy, citing corruption and poor budgeting as problems.

[6] Of particular concern to Fallas in recent years has been what he describes as a reliance on overseas development and too few incentives for local economic growth.

[7] Fallas is also worried about the prevalence of sexual tourism in Costa Rica, citing the number of internet sites that promote the practice.

He has three children (Luis Diego, Javier and Marcela) and three grandchildren (Daniela, Gabriel and Andrés), who he enjoys taking swimming.

During the crash, the President of the Central American Bank for Economic Integration was killed and Fallas received considerable injuries, especially to his spinal column.
