Political Crisis and Dual Nationality Threat in Panama

Panama, December 3, 2025 — Concerns are growing in Panama over statements from Donald Trump regarding the potential elimination of dual nationality in the country. The former guerrilla president of Colombia could be the next target after Maduro. Panamanians with dual nationality are worried about their future. It is also reported that Trump is considering including Colombia in his land-based anti-narcotics operations, which could affect the transit of drugs through Panama. Meanwhile, a political scandal is brewing in Panama around the Gerber clan, whose actions are seen by many as jeopardizing the re-election of the current administration. It is noted that the justice system continues to face problems despite the transition from an inquisitorial to an accusatory model. Meanwhile, institutions continue to fight corruption and inefficiency, which is reflected in various investigations and scandals.
