Protests Intensify in Panama

The protest of groups considered "radical" has evolved into direct confrontations and preparation for violent action, using stones, Molotov cocktails, and rods. This change has been seen over the years, leaving behind the peaceful marches and white handkerchiefs that used to characterize them.

The objective of this type of protest goes beyond the simple act of demonstrating, delving into political motivations that seek to attract attention and generate impact in society.

A sign of this transformation is evident in the most recent actions, where demonstrators have opted for violence as a means of expression, triggering direct clashes with law enforcement and creating a climate of tension in the streets.

In the words of an anonymous participant in these protests: "It is no longer enough to raise our voices, now we must make them listen through direct action. Our goal is clear, and we are willing to go to the last consequences to achieve it."

This radicalization of protests poses new challenges for both authorities and society as a whole, which is becoming increasingly divided in the face of these demonstrations that challenge the boundaries of peaceful protest.
