In Costa Rica, rumors are circulating that a former president of that country left his mark in Panama, accompanied by a stork that left a little 'gift' here. The men in white don't want to be 'painted white' in this tender. The spies who recently turned themselves in to justice fled Panama not on a yacht, but in pangas, on a dangerous journey that took them all the way to Colombia. It seems both officials mistook the stage, as the war being fought in Panama is against crime, on the city streets. In the fight, the men in white say all kinds of things to a former partner, because here money rules, not partners, former partners, or friends. It might be a good idea if the Public Ministry asked them who was sending them a monthly stipend to survive in their new refuge. This project already has resources that must be decided by the Supreme Court, pushed by the contractor, who cannot proceed because the Police has practically paralyzed the work. Thank goodness it happened here and not in Tico lands, because the gossip would have been huge, the size of the former president's mouth. At Tocumen Airport, there is a tender that is not being awarded, and in the middle of it are the men in white, who are seeking to be given—this time in a price competition—a tender for $19.5 million. But the day before, the head of the National Police and the Minister of Security, Jaime Fernández and Frank Ábrego respectively, were enjoying a visit to US Navy warships. While they receive diplomatic honors, others receive funeral honors. AND, speaking of the police, what has become of the construction of the new 'El Paco' precinct headquarters, the police's 'supermarket'? Perhaps it will surprise you to learn that, contrary to custom, it was not the client who paid his lawyer, but the lawyer who paid his client. Serious bloody incidents occurred over the weekend, including a shootout in which a former candidate for a corregimiento representative was killed.
