Ex-mayor Bosco Vallarino returning to politics

SOME POLITICIANS, like former US President Richard Nixon never give up and Panama’s former mayor Bosco Vallarino, has demonstrated that he belongs to the Teflon breed.

On Thursday August 15 he announced his return to the political battlefield.

Like Nixon, Bosco resigned amid scandals but gave the reason as “health” after a stormy meeting with President Ricardo Martinelli. 

 He was widely condemned while in office because of garbage collection problems and other missteps, but he returned to the attack on Thursday criticizing the current manager of the Urban Garbage Authority, Henry Ho.
"”I may want to return to be mayor or a councilor to serve my country," he told Prensa.com
Bosco, who as mayor earned harsh criticism said that the media turned against him on the issue of garbage, but now under new management and with a $82 million budget the problem has not been solved. the problem.
He said it was "inconceivable" that Enrique Ho-with more administrative resources-was unable to clean up the city.
For Vallarino the truck rental issue is not the answer to solvingthe issue of garbage.
"There are other ways. I had studied a plan conducted with the Japanese (…) I wanted to turn trash into electricity that was a business for the city, but it would not let me, " said Vallarino, who resigned on January 12 2012.
