Controversy in Panama's Government and Health Concerns

Eduardo Pinock criticizes government priorities, focusing on casinos while questioning judicial competencies. Meanwhile, a health scare arises from E. coli linked to hamburgers in the US, urging caution for families.


Eduardo Pinock, lawyer and former candidate of Ricardo Martinelli, expressed his dissatisfaction with the treatment received by those seeking votes for his party. He accused Juan Carlos Varela of prioritizing the casino and protecting his associates, some of whom are involved in direct government contracts.

On another topic, it is rumored that a minister of the government linked to Juan Carlos Varela's party is behind a lucrative solar energy generation project in the ACP. The comparison with the Public Ministry and the Judicial Branch was mentioned as pure coincidence.

A lawyer pointed out that judges, after five years in their positions, stop growing intellectually. He recalled Ricardo Martinelli's words about the importance of good management. Moreover, it was highlighted that "a twisted tree cannot be straightened" referring to the need for deep changes in some institutions.

Another aspect emphasized was the lack of updates for more than 50% of judges in the criminal sphere, which calls into question the quality of their rulings. In contrast, the maturity of the Gerber bench was praised for supporting the new Attorney General of the nation.

In a lighter tone, there was commentary on Juan Carlos Varela's intense activity in Paris, seeking investments for Panama, which has generated some controversy. On the other hand, an alert was raised about an E. coli outbreak in hamburgers from a well-known fast-food chain in the United States, which concerns some parents.

In summary, political tensions and criticisms of government management mix with issues of updating, controversial decisions, and economic challenges in the current Panamanian landscape.
