Panama Political Scandal: Corruption and Rights Violations

The news covers a political scandal in Panama, specifically in San Miguelito. Members of the 'Vamos' party accuse a company of not paying benefits but remain silent about the rights violations of former municipal employees. It also mentions suspicious tenders in Detroit and a controversial bill by a deputy.


A scandal is brewing in Panama over worker rights violations. The 'Vamos' gang has expressed outrage that Revisalud failed to pay benefits to its workers, but they remain silent about the rights violations against former municipal employees of San Miguelito, who have been left without support. Meanwhile, in Detroit, it has come to light that several municipal contracts favored the same family business that appeared to be competing in the tender processes. These contracts, all close to the $50,000 limit, were likely intended to avoid the strict oversight of the Comptroller's Office. It is also reported that a deputy, whose husband carries a weapon, has initiated a project to create the 'Sanctuary of the Waves of Panama'.
