The Public Ministry has decided to press charges for freedom and personal injuries against the 83 workers of Suntracs who were arrested following the clashes at the construction of the new Children's Hospital. Despite the request for release submitted by the defense, the court has rejected that request. The group of arrested workers is given 30 calendar days to take the appropriate measures.
The National Bank of Panama has decided to close the accounts linked to Suntracs, as well as cancel the credit card associated with the union organization. This action occurs amid a context of tensions and conflicts regarding the construction sector in Panama. The measure taken by the banking institution is generating various reactions and differing opinions among those involved.
Regarding the situation of the Suntracs workers, it is expected that the legal process against them will continue to develop in the coming weeks. Despite the adversities, the union maintains its position and defense of the labor rights of its members. The community and different sectors of Panamanian society are attentive to the evolution of this case and the possible implications it may have in the labor and social spheres.
It is worth noting that these measures and recent events are generating a broad public debate in Panama, where the balance between workers' rights, safety in the workplace, and respect for the law is being discussed. The tension between the parties involved in this labor conflict continues to rise, making constructive dialogue and a search for solutions necessary to overcome this situation in a peaceful and fair manner for all parties.
