Payback time for Panama’s mayor

Returning to her chair in the capital’s Vice Mayor’s Office – after having served for a few months as governor of the province of Panama – was not without obstacles for journalist and politician Judy Meana.

What should have been an expedited procedure suddenly turned into an absurd power struggle, despite the fact that the official won the position vote by vote, as did the mayor or the councilors.

Still, Meana suffered the humiliation of having to leave before she could enter her office, as the municipal guard prevented her from doing so. The Mayor, with all cordiality, gave trivial explanations. But what is at the bottom, without a doubt, is the process that Meana opened to the mayor of the capital when she was governor, since the official was caught in an alleged violation of quarantine. And that is something that José Luis Fábrega does not forget and does not seem to have any intention of doing so, because, after all, he sees himself as one of the gods of Olympus, where mere mortals cannot reach him, and less someone who , hierarchically, was his subordinate before she was governor. Small-town, third-world assumptions, typical of a native of Macondo. LA PRENSA,Feb.25.
