Students  close highway to protest rector’s re-election

 A group of university students from the Autonomous University of Chiriquí (Unachi) closed the Inter-American highway on Wednesday, March 23 as a sign of rejection of bill No. 756, which makes administrative changes in Unachi and clears the way to the aspirations of the current rector, Etelvina de Bonagas, to seek re-election for the third time.

The bill which now awaits the sanction of President  Cortizo– was approved on February 24 in the National Assembly, with 48 votes in favor, five against, and one abstention.

This is the fourth protest carried out by students
