In the midst of the health crisis,  have the enormous political uncertainty, and the chain of judicial surprises that plague Panama, the deputies of the ruling party presented a show that lived up to their ambitions and the size of their mediocrity.

 It would be thought that after the memorable dinner at a legendary barbecue[ in Jimmy’s], the PRD bench would have agreed with itself, to decide the directors  of the permanent committees. Such a feat of governability is very far from the appetites of the “honorable” deputies who, like a raging pack, distributed the charges, without taking into account loyalties or political pacts. An uncomfortable veteran deputy was exiled to a beloved Women’s Commission, while others were figurines from an album that appeared repeatedly in the most powerful commissions.

Why the last-minute dispute at? All seek the greatest influence to exercise the worst possible blackmail against the Executive Branch, of their own party, which has declined. Thus, the caste of deputies who control the PRD extort its government and kidnap the country. –LA PRENSA, Jul. 16
