Panamanians celebrated 70 years of the Remón-Eisenhower Treaty, showing a unanimous stance on changing the conditions they considered an affront to national character. The treaty, signed in 1955, established the cession of land for the construction of the Panama Canal.
During the commemoration, the importance of reviewing and adjusting certain aspects of the treaty to reflect current realities and Panama's interests was emphasized. According to official statements, it is necessary to ensure that the country's development and its sovereignty are not compromised by past agreements.
"It is essential that the voices of Panamanians are heard and their demands for equity and justice are respected," stated a government representative. The commemorative date served as a platform to express the need to continue working towards a fair and equitable treaty for both nations involved.
