MEDIA WATCH: Panama in search of leadership

Hoyporhoy, La Prensa, Jan.16

THERE IS a sense of vertigo in the national situation caused by the passive response of the political leadership that governs us, against the current wave of corruption scandals involving this administration.

In the absence of determination adopted by President Varela, one wonders if his  expressions are really intentional or the result of a lack of understanding of the seriousness of the situation. The question remains why, after qualify the current crisis in the administration of justice as an “internal matter” of the Supreme Court. “I have said it before,”but no. Quite the contrary: in  your campaign  you sold us the idea of ​​new mechanisms to ensure justice refined. As for the PAN, better not to talk. Turns out -for the President, the “division of matter” is an issue “that is in debate.” Well, that’s not what the current Public Procurement Act say  Panama has a hyper-presidential system, in which the role, style and method of the ruler defines our history. True leadership comes from listening to the public, learning  from mistakes and being  able to get back  on the rails.
