A path to anarchy and violence warns business group

A country without efficient justice assumes the dangerous possibility of entering the path of anarchy and violence says the  Panamanian Association of Business Executives (Apede). “As proof of this, we find situations such as those that have arisen recently, in which the precarious situation of the population in a vulnerable condition worsens who, instead of being cared are repeatedly re-victimized…All this as a consequence of a system that allows impunity, “said Apede, in a Sunday statement.

“The untimely resignation of the Attorney General generates great uncertainty since the reason for it is not clearly defined, which denotes an unacceptable institutional fragility, also generating unnecessary speculation and mistrust. at this crucial moment in national history.”

The Apede made an urgent call to resume the debate on the methods of selection of the magistrates of the Supreme Court of Justice, the Attorney General, and other authorities of the control institutions. “And those changes can only come with” profound constitutional changes.”
