In Panama, a nephew of Josefa is aware of unfavorable situations occurring in the tax collection entity. It is anticipated that those involved will face legal proceedings for their actions. From the Garden of the Olives, Josefa was informed about acts of violence perpetrated by furious individuals, such as those recently happening in Hato Montaña. Despite the economic difficulties they faced, the act of aggression against the population is inexcusable.
An officer shared with Josefa some situations that demonstrate the lack of integrity on the part of the tongos. He revealed that many of them seem to pay more attention to their superiors than to the criminals, as they fear easy arrest. These corrupt actions tarnish the reputation of the institution in which they work.
Josefa was informed that in West Panama, the prosecutor in charge of the case of a person kidnapped in Arraiján was transferred to the homicide unit. These decisions generate distrust in justice and promote a perception of impunity among citizens. High-ranking government figures were criticized for violating public contracting laws and for the precarious working conditions of many administrative employees.
In relation to the acquisition of the ports of Balboa and Cristóbal, it is rumored that the new owners could face legal problems in the future due to possible irregularities in the contracts. The lack of cooperation from certain government representatives in the economic reactivation of the country has also been questioned.
The funeral services for two colleagues, Julio Quesada Abrego and Luis Guerra, will be held in Colinas de la Paz and in the church Nuestra Señora del Carmen, respectively. In other events, health workers are protesting against precarious working conditions in the Hospital San Miguel Arcángel, while businesses in the area suffer losses due to an event held at Udelas.
Finally, the lack of transparency in labor relations and the discontent of workers due to workload overload is reported. Despite the efforts of the Commission for the Implementation of the Mechanism for Equal Opportunities for Women, complaints about violations of human rights of certain individuals in the community persist.
