Call to revoke the mandate of Panama Mayor

A group of people from the capital district submitted a request on Tuesday, to the Electoral Court to revoke the mandate of Mayor José Luis Fábrega, based on a series of situations such as non-compliance with his work plan presented in the campaign, as well as the lack of transparency in the processes during his two and a half years in office.

The document was presented by the independent lawyer Roberto Ruiz Díaz, says that promises have not been complied with and projects that are not a municipal priority have been presented, highlighting that  “necessary accountability and transparency have not been complied with”.

In the document, they say that, in compliance with the law that the revocation cannot be requested during the first and last year of the mandate, the request is presented so that the citizens of the capital commune can decide whether or not they want to revoke Fabrega’s mandate.

The recall will require 160,000 signatures in four months.
