Scandal between Former Deputy and Media Director in Panama

As expected, Levy accused Lopera, Valenzuela, and other members of Foco of lacking courage. Levy confronted him for going on a podcast and calling her a drug trafficker, after which the former deputy unleashed heavy artillery to question Lopera. 'When have I ever been involved in drug trafficking?', asked the former deputy. 'Now, you can call me a drug trafficker, right here in front of your friends,' Levy demanded of Lopera, who was in a commercial establishment. 'Did you say that I asked you for money?', the Foco executive questioned, apparently surprised. Interestingly, while Levy was firing indiscriminately, Lopera mentioned Valenzuela again in such a tone that it seemed he was asking the former deputy to refer to him if she had any complaints. Katleen Levy caused such a scandal for Daniel Lopera, director of the digital medium Foco, that he ended up distancing himself from his colleagues Mauricio Valenzuela and Luis (Esquivel Gólcher), whom he accused of calling the former deputy a drug trafficker. 'Yes, they asked me for money, Mauricio asked me for money through you know which channels (inaudible),' continued the former deputy from the Panameñista party during the Juan Carlos Varela administration. Lopera decided to get up and leave the establishment in search of a more intimate conversation, while his companions presented themselves as his godparents, to whom Levy said that the 'godson is behaving very badly.' 'Talk to Luis if you feel like it, I have nothing to do with it...,' assured the director of Foco in a video that is going viral on social networks. 'You have called me a drug trafficker, you didn't care (inaudible) about my son,' the former deputy claimed. 'What's the problem?', Lopera asks while seemingly holding an e-cigarette. It should be remembered that Foco has been in the midst of a category 8 hurricane after it was leaked that from this digital medium, a conspiracy may have been hatched to prevent the candidacy of current President José Raúl Mulino, with the help of a lawyer linked to the firm Morgan & Morgan. The heated conversation between Lopera and Levy was short, charged with Panamanianisms and inaudible defenses from both parties. 'You know I have been a victim of that (drug trafficking). Don't mess with me,' Levy warned in a volcanic tone. Planells was labeled an extortionist by Kevin Marino Cabrera, the United States ambassador, who announced that the Donald Trump administration is working to strip the engineer of the anti-corruption champion title and that there is more information to be revealed. It also became known that Annette Planells, former president and member of the Board of Directors of the newspaper La Prensa, had access the day before to the ruling of the Electoral Tribunal that removed Ricardo Martinelli from the presidential race in the 2024 elections.
