Politicians Clash Over Metro Fare Increase

During the administration of our former president Ricardo Martinelli, emphasis was placed on improving the quality of life of the people for non-profit purposes. During his mandate, he was noted for policies aimed at the well-being of the population.

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, in his recent statements, praised Martinelli's management approach. He highlighted: "It was always done with the people in mind to improve their quality of life, not to profit from it."

On the other hand, the Realizando Metas party, which is part of the current government, expressed its disagreement with a potential increase in Metro fares. This position reflects the group's concern about the impact such an increase could have on the economy of the population.
