Lines stretched even beyond the perimeter, revealing a reality felt across the country today: people need to work, and they want to work now. Among the attendees, 617 were residents of La Pintada, many of them parents seeking stability for their homes. Adding participants from Donoso and Coclesito, 40.56% of applicants came from communities directly impacted by the operation. Another 41.84% came from various points in Coclé and Colón, and 17.61% from provinces like Panamá, Panamá Oeste, Veraguas, Herrera, and Chiriquí. Some traveled for over three hours just to submit documents. The positions offered are not abstract promises, but real jobs: industrial machinery maintenance, electrical maintenance, technical cleaning of operational areas, logistical support, security control, and basic environmental monitoring. They are all part of the Maintenance Plan, whose goal is to keep the mine's infrastructure in good condition while its future is decided. One notable fact of the day was the presence of former project workers: around 15% of attendees had already worked at the mine. "We need this." Many expressed their immediate willingness to return to their posts. The most repeated phrase was direct: "We want to come back." The massive attendance sends a powerful message to the Government and the entire country: people want the mine to resume operations. If an agreement is reached, the operation could recover over 7,000 direct jobs and generate around 40,000 indirect jobs in commerce, transportation, suppliers, services, and activities that are currently paralyzed. "We know how to do this work."
