Panama is facing a series of scandals involving sports, public administration, and infrastructure. The national baseball team suffered a crushing defeat in all four games of the Caribbean Series, leading to criticism of the event's organizers. A scandal is also brewing at the Women's Institute, where 81% of staff are administrative personnel, while conditions in children's shelters remain dire. Furthermore, there are questions about the funds spent on pipe disinfection in the Azuero region and the management of ports, where the cocaine smuggling problem persists. The Odebrecht case and its unpaid multi-million dollar fine also remain in the spotlight.
