Panama – the continent’s laughingstock

There are unequivocal signs that lead to the conclusion that there is an unwritten pact to neutralize the actions of the Public Ministry in high-profile cases. The events have been triggered from the moment the current Attorney General took office, last January.

Cases have stalled; prosecutor rotations lack practicality; the defense teams of the accused are loosening their management in favor of their clients, including the withdrawal of resources that they intended to delay their processes. One by one, each piece begins to fall in the exact place. By the time the puzzle is complete, we will be the laughingstock of the continent, with solid, documented, and proven cases that will end in shameful, but traditional impunity.

With everything, There are those who tear their clothes crying for justice because Panama does not get off the blacklists. But, at the same time, we do not renounce the most rampant corruption in the three organs of the State. With genuflex authorities, we will be condemned to live sick from the corruption pandemic. – LA PRENSA  June 1
