OPINION: Shameless Actions

Multiple criminal complaints, reckless denunciations, civil kidnappings and an intense campaign of media intimidation and defamation on social networks have become the tools to finalize battered Panamanian justice.

 A former attorney general of the Nation, two former magistrates of the Supreme Court two forensic doctors, prosecutors and other public servants in fulfillment of their duties, have been recent victims of  shameless actions.

To add more elements to this tragicomedy, it requires them to pay millions of dollars for fictitious damages to his rights. With such acts, he seeks, through intimidation, to stop being investigated, to leave him alone, as well as his inner circle. None of this would be possible without accomplices who, from the bodies in charge of imparting justice or from the private practice of the legal profession day after day, nurture such nonsense.

That complicity facilitates the most blatant impunity, condemns us to international lists and causes mistrust in the world. It is time for this country to stop being a slave to the king of corruption.- LA PRENSA, Jul.30.
