Zulay’s daughter received $61,000 from Ifarhu as “economic aid”

As Puerto Rican artist Ivy Queen would say: ‘Quítate tú pa’ ponerme yo – Let’s see who’s who – that’s how the ‘independent’ political environment in Panama goes. This week several rags came to light.

And I say this because the deputy of the Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) and aspirant to a presidential candidacy by free candidacy, Zulay Rodríguez, had to go out to defend the “economic aid” that, for $ 61 thousand, granted by the National Institute for the Training and Use of Human Resources (Ifarhu) to her daughter Paola Testa Rodríguez to study abroad.

Zulay in a chain of ‘tweet’ in reproach to the criticism said: “My daughter Paola, is selected national tennis and has participated since childhood in the ITF (International Tennis Federation) tournaments, the last being the World Tennis Tour 2022, organized on the island of Cuba, where she represented Panama. ”

The parliamentarian explained that 1 year ago, “for its score it was selected by a university in the United States, there we had to analyze our options and see the costs that these high performance centers have. ” You basically enter for your grades and sports performance, but it’s not free.”

“To be clear, not even adding my net salary for 5 years could I have covered the whole and you know how millionaire I am not. All that tale of gold and other nonsense is a lie. So, take advantage of how much personal resource you had and did not reach the figure, “he also said on his Instagram account.

According to the portal Foco Panama, Alvaro Testa, husband of Deputy Rodríguez, is appointed to the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) with a salary of $ 18,304, while Zulay receives $ 7,000 per month in the Assembly. The family income, not counting activities outside the State, would be $ 23,304 per month.

Foco Panama also revealed that in the Comptroller’s Office, where the sister of the deputy – Rocío Rodríguez Lu – is spokeswoman, they misspelled her last name, which makes her search difficult.

The Ifarhu through a statement justified that this benefit was granted for its academic and sports performance.

“In the case of the young Testa Rodríguez, from whom we received an application, after having achieved a sports scholarship granted by a university in the United States of America, which covers part of her undergraduate studies, we proceeded to make an analysis of the cost of the career, and as is known no undergraduate career in the United States has a value less than 60 thousand dollars, since almost all of them exceed 150 thousand dollars,” said Ifarhu.

The institution also explained that the aid granted to the student is based on the scholarship granted by the University in the United States, and taking into account the family resources that she presented to cover part of her expenses, what Ifarhu granted her was only part of what was required to pursue her university studies. which did not even reach 25% of the cost of the race.

While the lawyer Guillermo Cochez presented a formal request for the director of this institution to offer more details of the management of these public funds.

Cochez asked Meneses to specify what criteria Ifarhu uses for these economic aids.
