Panama singer claims security crisis after campaign murder

Panama singer-songwriter  Joey Montana said Saturday, October 27 that Panama is in the midst of a security crisis.

The statement came after hearing of the murder earlier in the day of his escort and friend Jorge Nash, while acting as a bodyguard to a political candidate.

“We are in a security crisis, when are they going to accept it, when are they going to do something that really

makes a change?” said Montana, following the gunning down of Nash, in a failed robbery at the campaign center of the Panameñista pre-candidate Carlos González.

“I have never believed in governments, and less now. They have never solved this dilemma of crime and they do not pass stronger laws to curb these people once and for all. I am sure they will never change and someone who does this does not deserve forgiveness ” Montana wrote in his Instagram account.

He described Nash as “a pure soul, an honest person, a friend, an exemplary father … You gave your life to defend others, you were always a warrior, and that’s why I admired you so much, little brother”.

Nash died in the middle of a shooting in the campaign center of González, pre-candidate for deputy.

According to the Homicide Prosecutor’s Office, several eyewitnesses reported that two armed criminals entered the premises where a meeting was being held. In the midst  of a struggle with one of the assailants, Nash was shot three times
