Defending the Panama Canal

Panamanians must unite in the defense of the Canal and the sovereignty of the country. Despite some people living far from the region not feeling a connection to the Panama Canal, it is everyone's responsibility to protect this important national resource.

In Panama's history, the defense of the Canal has been fundamental, and we cannot doubt the importance of this task. Despite the lack of nationalist intensity experienced in past decades, it is crucial to maintain the commitment to the protection and safeguarding of this waterway.

It is important to remember that the Panama Canal is not only a source of pride for Panamanians but also plays a crucial role in the economy and international projection of the country. Caring for its operation and security is the responsibility of all of society.

As a concerned citizen expressed: "Panamanians cannot afford to neglect the protection of our Canal; it is part of our identity and our history as a nation. We must join efforts to ensure its security and proper functioning, looking towards the future with determination."
