The president should not do favors to anyone, even if he believes he is not breaking the law. Perhaps that is why they have not proceeded in the same way. It is about time that the population (since the courts cannot...) evaluate this behavior. PPC announced an arbitration against Maersk (its replacement at the port of Balboa), but has not communicated anything regarding TIL (current operator of Cristóbal). “A good number of the favors one is asked for is to break the law.” TIL is a subsidiary of MSC, the shipping company that, along with the BlackRock fund, intended to acquire 43 ports operated by Hutchison (including the two Panamanian ones). García is backed by the 31 votes he obtained in last Wednesday's election and more than 25 years of experience in human rights at the Ombudsman's Office, Antai, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. CEREMONY. The inauguration will be next Monday, at the Assembly. PROPOSAL.

Deputy José Pérez Barboni proposed Rodrigo García Rodríguez as deputy ombudsman. He promised that the transition will be “close, orderly, and respectful.” AT GUNPOINT. The election of Ángela Russo de Cedeño was so planned that the announcement of the vote results, the proclamation of the winner, and the signing of the act appointing her as People's Defender took place — everything! — in just 35 seconds. All Panamanians should be terrified after President Mulino's statements at the inauguration of Aurelio Barría Pino as president of the Chamber of Commerce, Industries, and Agriculture. Less than five minutes had passed since the proclamation when the ombudsman Eduardo Leblanc — once a candidate for re-election — wrote a message on his networks to congratulate Russo. If they had taken any less time, they would have forgotten to remove the presidential card. CONGRATS. That is why it is called a favor: because it is to favor. CAFÉ. What a suffering life... The appointment depends on Russo.
