Political Turmoil in San Miguelito

Political infighting in Panama over garbage collection in San Miguelito, involving figures like Irma and the Vamos party.


A campaign is being prepared in Panama to undermine the work of the Sanitation Authority in San Miguelito. This comes as a local Christian channel, Tumba Muerto, is giving a platform to politicians from the Vamos party, who are known for their pro-LGBTQ, pro-choice, and pro-same-sex marriage stances, while also showing disdain for religious beliefs. An insider reports that if the bill by "Huevito" Pineda and Camacho is approved, it would be the final blow to Irma, leaving her with no hope of re-engaging with this issue. Due to the incompetence of Irma and her Vamos advisors, it is said that no future mayor of San Miguelito, regardless of party affiliation, will be able to handle the garbage collection issue. Other news items include sightings of "El Muñeco" Torrijos at the Boquete Fair, complaints about the chaotic process for obtaining license plates in San Miguelito, and memories of Prosecutor Morcillo, who was linked to the Jodebrecht scandal. Additionally, there is talk of a bill that would permanently transfer garbage collection to the government, an alarming wave of theft complaints from tourists, and a controversial incident involving Deputy Prado and her husband.
