Panama Political Scandal: Hypocrisy and Corruption

A political scandal is heating up in Panama, involving official hypocrisy, corruption in prisons, and the use of public events for political purposes. The actions of deputies, mayors, and former ministers, along with their contradictory statements, are being discussed.


The people of Peñalba left them in the lurch by taking the roofs, doors, chairs… They didn't even bother to give them notice! A hot-shot lawyer comments that no matter how much they check the inmates' relatives, almost to the point of stripping them, the truth is that drugs, cell phones, etc., continue to enter prisons, as could be seen in La Joya over the weekend… A ghetto philosopher was right: a meter doesn't fit in a… Juan Harvard is earning the award for 'the biggest hypocrite in Panamanian politics,' since during the 'Little Government' he said that one of the 'big mistakes' of those in the Assembly was believing that poverty is fought with gifts, but now that he is the one handing out backpacks and groceries, in the style of 'Mello' Carrasquilla, he calls clientelism a 'community visit.' Well, what can I say? Martincito and Juan Diego were around, each with their entourage, cashing in. Speaking of cavalcades, some were waiting to see if 'Tuto' Palacios would take the opportunity to confront the mayor of David, Joaquín De León, and demand that he give the green light for the construction of a children's baseball park in that district. Brenes will have to provide proof because she is being portrayed as irresponsible and a gossip. Nadia, the 'secretary' who bathed in rivers of money during the 'Little Government,' filed a complaint against those managing a digital account for alleged harassment. Speaking of PRD members, an audio is circulating whose voice is attributed to former Minister Tejada, completely unhinged, saying things he shouldn't and claiming that Nadia has all the world's secrets, but she sold her soul to the devil… Good Lord! Or is it that 'Tuto' only barks from the plenary? This might interest you. They say over there. That the prosecutor 'Lucho' has already notified Isolda of the resolution admitting the criminal complaint against her, related to all the filth from VarelaLeaks. Over in 'The Little Cave,' a former deputy continues to pressure to have her ex-sister-in-law fired for cheating on her little brother. Look at that. A fan of cavalcades, like the ones in David, says these events have lost their shine because they have been hijacked by parties and coalitions that use them as a stage to grandstand and sell themselves. That's what the gossips say! The provincial director of Miviot was angry with the mayor of Arraiján, 'Earthquake' Peñalba, and accused her of arbitrarily dismantling offices that were on a servitude corresponding to the MOP. Minister Carles sent word that there is no official information to support the existence of 8 or 9-year-old girls in a state of pregnancy. Oh, my father! Today in 'The Little Cave,' Law 276 will be evaluated, which seeks to punish with imprisonment officials who cause the paralysis or deterioration of public works. They also say he paid his substitute poorly because, after helping him win, he now ignores him. They 'parked' Deputy Brenes again, after she spoke again on 'Hungry Debate' about the existence of pregnant girls in shelters. Were these PRDs functioning like a satanic sect? Those who are now friends, after they couldn't stand each other and were fighting, are the 'hungry' Raisa and Dr. Crispiano. Let's hope this doesn't repeat the tragedy that resulted for the people from the paralysis of hospitals and other projects during the Varela era. A joker claims that 'Cocobolo' Cedeño is ungrateful because with his right-of-reply law he is stabbing in the back the very media that gave him a platform to talk even about astrology. Even 'likes' and all that are given on social networks.
