Buchanan, the Ferragamo family's deputy, allied in the Government Commission with the 'privileged whites' of the USMA, managed by Juan Harvard, to impose on the other deputies a 'closed list' of only seven candidates to be voted on in the plenary session for the position of People's Defender. This had never happened before... and it should not have happened. It is said that more than four politicians were furious. And it seems that Deputy Brenes and others are not happy about being told. The new director of Senniaf pointed out the issue. 'Luchito' Duke tried to discredit one of the candidates. In La Cuevita, the appointment of Isidro Carbonell as the new director of the National Charity Lottery (LNB) was approved yesterday. He received 56 votes in favor, 0 against, and 0 abstentions. The Chinese Patsy again yesterday called on Miviot and the Municipality of La Chorrera to stop giving permits for housing projects in areas with no water. The conflict is served, gentlemen. The people are happy because it has been almost a year since Saúl Méndez jumped the embassy fence and since then, street closures and protests have been counted; in the end, no one misses the leftists from SUNTRACS and their senseless protests. Someone please explain this to me. The residents of Taboga are threatening protests because they claim that a private investor will build a new dock right in the center of the only beach they use for recreation, which would completely ruin it. The C3's slogan is: either you present the full package to the Plenary or nothing! 'El Loco' found that big fire yesterday, which occurred right under the Bridge of the Americas, very strange. Speaking of that fire, a joker asks: how can three gasoline-filled tanks explode in such a sensitive area as the 'bases' of the Bridge of the Americas? Let's see how that ends! 'Bolota' got angry yesterday and said he does not agree with the free candidates, 'mocaccino' Barboni, and the Ferragamo's 'man' coming to impose on the rest of the plenary members a list of seven candidates from which the next People's Defender would have to be chosen. Things of inflation. A toad from the Maritime Authority informed us that in the Amador area, there are yachts that are in precarious condition, and there is even a 'well-cared-for' business for luxury yachts. Good heavens! Speaking of retirees, they say they want a 25% to 30% increase in their discounts because a plate of food used to cost them $1.25, but now it costs $6.00.
