OPINION: An electoral horror show
What is the quality of the electoral offer for the different positions? Apparently, the political parties have not found the best Panamanians so they have had to resort to many facing criminal investigations. There is also recycling of veterans from multiple public positions, who now change their shirts and promise that they really know how to do things. The album of candidacies is spiced up with some celebrities, whose fame was temporary, but who resist returning to the shadows As if this were not enough, the nominations to the Parlacen are mostly large, worthy specimens of a collection of horrors. These candidacies obscure the progress of the last electoral reforms: the parties have managed to neutralize transparency with the “reservation” of positions, donations and opportunistic alliances. It seems that in politics decorum has been lost, and the ambition to power always overcomes the disgust produced by certain companions. In the land of the anti-values, the corrupt demand the honest to respect their reputation, while they rob the nation. LA PRENSA, Feb,19.
