According to reports, retirees were pleased yesterday when they arrived at the ATM and could finally withdraw their money. This ironic fact was compared to the difficulties they had previously experienced. Some wondered if certain groups of gangs working for cartels should be classified as terrorists.
For Josefa, the real cartels in Panama are the political parties that join forces with businessmen to pillage the public treasury with total impunity. She stated that the collaboration between politicians and businessmen is the root cause of many problems in the country.
A relative of Josefa mentioned that, although laws related to the IVM program are being discussed, the real issue lies in the lack of investments that generate formal and decent jobs. Without a change in this situation, the CSS will continue to face significant challenges.
It was reported that the United States has designated six drug trafficking cartels in Mexico as terrorist groups, which has generated impact and concern in the region. This decision could have important consequences in the realm of security and international cooperation in the fight against organized crime.
On other topics, alerts were mentioned regarding possible conflicts in certain areas, and the importance of public contests to fill vacancies transparently in all political parties was highlighted. Additionally, changes in the retirement system were announced, and warnings were given about possible reforms in the retirement age.
It is expected that the Collection Plan will be activated nationwide, which implies that all operational units must report to the relevant venues early. On the other hand, tensions between the deputy director and the director were mentioned at the Public Registry, creating uncertainty about the duration of this internal conflict.
In summary, changes in government policies and alerts about possible imminent conflicts have generated concern among the population. The situation in Panama reflects the complexity of current challenges and the need to address them effectively and fairly.
