Panama. The launch of the new 'State's Attorney' office, tasked with overseeing high-profile corruption cases, has sparked diverse reactions in legal circles. Three prominent lawyers, Roberto Moreno, Guillermo Cochez, and Marco Austin, agree that the intention is good, but they warn that the issue must be scrutinized closely. For some, the 'State's Attorney' represents a modern tool to protect public interests; for others, it risks duplicating functions and opening the door to political discretion. The initiative aims to break the cycle of impunity, but there is a danger of selective justice. Experts agree that the key to success lies in institutional coordination and ensuring that the powerful fear the law, rather than creating another bureaucracy. "What we need are not announcements, but actions," is the common sentiment.
