A wealthy country mired in moral and material poverty

The only promises politicians keep are those they make to themselves when they decide to run. His dreams of well-being for him and his family, cars, farms, trips, bank accounts, luxury, banquets, parties, and cocktails, are the promises that are fulfilled with military pressure. Those that they make to their electors – with their false solemnity: more education, more health, more progress – these are only tales of the road or, to be precise, campaign fallacies because an educated people would never vote for the disgraceful electoral offer of the existing parties; because a people with well-being and progress would not accept the crumbs of the end of the year from politicians or be a satrap so that they can steal the way they do. An educated people would be sufficiently informed to distinguish between a charlatan and a true public servant, because if almost all governments have something to spare, it is charlatanism, and this one has gone out of hand. Panama is a country with wealth, but mired in poverty – moral and material – because it is run by a gang whose sole and exclusive priority is to fulfill their selfish dream of being rich – even stealing – and unattainable by law.
