Panama bars “dry” for election

The May 5 election will render Panama “dry” starting at noon on  May 4.  Bars, canteens, wineries, barbecues, nightclubs, dance halls and liquor stores will be closed.

Thursday, May 2, is the last day for candidates to make electoral propaganda.

In addition, companies that provide fixed advertising services (billboards, posters, and signs) must withdraw them.
