Why Panama is on Strike

From afar the Panama protests look like maybe a bunch of hypersensitive eco-fools or maybe like those people who think throwing paint on museums is making any difference instead of going directly to the companies. 

The reality is that Panama is protesting way more than just the “contract”. But, let's start with the contract. 

First, the company can own Panama by owning land property of the Panama state" inside or outside the 17,000 hectares from what was licensed.” This means that the ANATI (the National Authority of Land Administration) HAS to give it to the mining company with no setbacks.

The mine puts danger around 8 countries of Centroamerica with already reported 200 environmental damages

If the company wants to own private lands that are located inside or outside of hectares of the land that was licensed. The company can own the land and pay nothing in exchange, with no questions.

The contract was done with random permits without the proper process of acquisition. 

The contract promises to give Panama a very small quantity of payment to Panama when Panama already spends millions of dollars on the state. This means the company will give Panama less money than what Panama already invests in the country. So we are selling parts of Panama for less than what we already invested. 

Panama's government is allowing a foreign company to NOT pay 70% of their taxes during the first 10 years of copper extraction. 

The community of Donoso (where the mine is located) says they see tons of copper trucks going out every week and at the same time they complain they haven't seen improvements in their community. Ejm: railroads, electricity.

The company threatens with an international lawsuit of millions of dollars if Panama doesn't sign the contract. But if the company fails to comply with the contract, claims it will only pay 70 million dollars (Which is less than what they make extracting copper from the mine).

The contract has a clause that makes an actual law. The contract will reign according to the laws of Panama, except if a law looks inconsistent. In other words, if Panama makes a law that prohibits mining or a law that obliges them to pay taxes, because of their contract it will not apply at all because of that clause. 

The joke was that the president signed the contract in less than 3 hours.

Now, going to the other complaints of the population. Panama already has tons of issues and complaints that are not resolved. These issues have put the whole country on the verge of exploitation.

In September, there were massive protests in several parts of the country because of the sexual assault of the minor Madeleine at the hands of the National Juvenile Assembly. To keep it short. Every year the country makes a national juvenile assembly and this kid was from outside the city representing her district. She ate and drank with each political party and told a classmate to check on her because her water tasted like medicine. The kid hours later was attended by an ambulance with no notification of this to her mom. After this, the kid was behaving erratic and paranoid with a location on her phone that wasn't at the hotel in Panama where all the kids were. The other claims of the event were that all the minors had those dinners with the political parties representatives and on those tables were "Gringos" (foreign European or North American people). Why those kids were sharing tables with gringos in the first place?

When the kid arrived from the trip, she was in a catatonic state and with constant PTSD attacks. There's still no justice or any trace of who were the ones who committed those crimes, and even no accountability by the MEDUCA (The Ministry of Education of Panama).

It is not the first time since such an event happened at the hands of the state. In 2021, we had another state scandal when it was reported that one of the deputies ( Arquesio Arias) of the national assembly raped several women in the indigenous Kuna Yala region. Of course, you can imagine he was dismissed from the charges and when that announcement was published, one of the victims tried to kill herself and got into the ER.

Then there are the deputies who name some of their relatives to the state payroll and don't even work in the state but take tons and tons of money monthly. Meanwhile, the oncologico hospital keeps getting shortages of injections and gloves.

Panama is considered an international hub, one of the richest countries of Latin America and still we struggle with poverty and access to vital things for the population, why? Because people of the state and international companies steal the money, they sometimes build roads and bridges and the costs are higher to the price from the real costs of those constructions, for example, the Odebretch scandal. They charge lots of money, so they can bribe some of the money to both parties (the construction company and the one who is soliciting the construction.

But then again bribing is part of the panamenian culture as we say "juega vivo", bribing the police, the hospital, and the system is all about money and taking advantage of situations as they come even if it is illegal.

Is funny we are all fighting for water, Well my friends here where I am with the famous "Panama Canal" that provides us with most of our income as a nation while having lots of rivers and geographically we are surrounded by both the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean, having all of that I get shortages and cuts of water for more than 6 times a month.

This week, the IDAAN (the company that provides water to the whole nation), has been making shortages all week. My family and I have been saving water tanks each day because of the shortages. I keep joking internally that I have a toxic relationship with the IDAAN since we kind of got used to this and the irony is that while the entire country struggles with the shortages they still sign a contract that will even affect the water flow to the Panama Canal in the long term.

The protests are not just because of the damage to nature is that the government sold us to a foreign Canadian company that has shareholders from the US and China to exploit us leaving us with nothing.

My biggest worry right now is that our current president is sick, the whole country knows he has cancer and during his last speeches, he has been looking like a corpse with now rumours of him leaving the country to intern himself to a hospital in Houston Texas. If he dies then probably the vice president has to take charge, but he has been missing since the protests and people HATE him. So yeah, Panama is on the brink of chaos and if that happens .. well

El parque para niñ@s en El MORRO es un peligro

Cool, pero a mí me importa un pepino angolo si los turistas tienen o no un parque para sus nenes. Me preocupa que las familias de San Juan tengan parques decentes donde llevar a sus hijos.

A un año

Es la política migratoria, fanático: ahí está el problema. Lo que tú defiendes sólo porque es de AMLO.

Y como en casi todo lo que se relaciona con AMLO, no se acabó con la corrupción sino se acabó en la corrupción. Los que acusan corrupción en todos los demás, usan corrupción para casi todo:

Definitivamente: "El pecado destruye tu vida"

En Jeremías 23:10 encontramos el siguiente pasaje: "Porque la tierra está llena de adúlteros; a causa de la maldición la tierra está de duelo; se han secado los pastizales del desierto. La carrera de ellos es mala, y su valentía no es recta."

Notamos que, el profeta Jeremías está denunciando la corrupción y la maldad que prevalecía en la tierra en ese momento.

La referencia a los "adúlteros" no se limita únicamente a la infidelidad conyugal, sino que también se refiere a la infidelidad espiritual del pueblo de Israel, que había abandonado a Dios para seguir a falsos dioses y practicar la injusticia.

La maldición que menciona Jeremías se refiere a las consecuencias de la desobediencia y la idolatría del pueblo, que había llevado a la tierra a un estado de duelo y desolación.

Los pastizales secos del desierto simbolizan la falta de vida y prosperidad que resulta de apartarse de Dios y seguir un camino de maldad.

En cuanto a la "carrera mala" y la "valentía no recta" de las personas mencionadas en el pasaje, se refiere a la conducta pecaminosa y la falta de integridad moral que caracterizaba a aquellos que se apartaban de Dios y seguían sus propios deseos egoístas.

En resumen, Jeremías 23:10 es un llamado a la reflexión sobre las consecuencias de apartarse de Dios y seguir un camino de maldad y corrupción. Nos recuerda la importancia de mantener nuestra fidelidad a Dios y vivir una vida de integridad y rectitud.

La hipocresia de los políticos y de los medios de comunicación se ve reflejada en la manera de tratar los casos de corrupción según de dónde vengan.

Chispa más o menos, creo que ha ocurrido así en esta casi narco-estado, dónde el felón ha hilado puntada tras puntada para mantenerse en la tela de araña que es este oscuro poder degenerado.
