The Chamber of Commerce of Panama has issued a statement warning that violence, coercion, and the kidnapping of citizens are unacceptable methods in a civilized society. The business community has made it clear that it rejects these practices and has urged mutual respect and dialogue as the way to resolve differences.
According to the Chamber of Commerce, unions cannot act as "shock troops" to impose whims through violent actions. For the business sector, it is essential that respect for the rule of law prevails and that solutions are sought through dialogue and mutual understanding.
The statement emphasizes that violence only generates more violence and that differences should be resolved in a peaceful and constructive manner. The Chamber of Commerce calls for reflection and responsibility from all parties involved in a conflict to avoid situations that could harm society as a whole.
In this regard, the business community reiterates its commitment to the development of the country and the generation of employment and wealth, but always under principles of peace, legality, and respect for the rights of all citizens. The Chamber of Commerce expresses its openness to dialogue and consensus, with the aim of building together a better and more prosperous Panama for all its inhabitants.
