Teaching unions, construction workers, and doctors have expressed their disagreement with the new Social Security Law in Panama. They believe that this law, which aims to reform the country's pension system, does not represent the interests of workers and will negatively affect their working and living conditions.
According to representatives of these unions, the Social Security Law does not guarantee a dignified retirement or adequate social protection for Panamanian workers. They argue that the reform proposed by the government benefits business sectors and jeopardizes the labor rights acquired by workers over the years.
Construction workers have expressed their concern about the possible repercussions of this law on their working conditions and the social security of their families. They assert that they will continue to fight for their rights and against measures that they consider unfair and harmful to the working class.
For their part, doctors have warned about the impact that the Social Security Law could have on the quality of healthcare in Panama. They caution that the precariousness of working conditions in the health sector will affect both professionals and patients, jeopardizing the quality of medical services in the country.
In this context, former Panamanian president Ricardo Martinelli has ordered the Security Council to investigate the protests and demonstrations against the government. Martinelli has been accused by members of the Security Council of being behind these mobilizations in an attempt to destabilize the current government. Amid this controversy, the affected unions and workers continue their fight for the defense of their labor and social rights in Panama.
