Blinken commentary to have no bearing on Martinelli

Journalism

WE SHALL SEE. IF HE RUNS THE “GOLDEN BOY” GETS HIS ASS KICKED.

After the pronouncement made by Antony Blinken, Secretary of State of the United States. On the designation of former President Ricardo Martinelli as ineligible to enter that country due to his participation in corruption cases, the Attorney General of the Nation, Javier Caraballo, reported that Since it is an internal list of the United States, “in no way as the Public Ministry can we request anything in this regard, this is an administrative matter of the United States, and it is part of a power that each country has,” he said.But what did stand out is that in the coming months, when the hearings that former President Ricardo Martinelli will have to face for the Odebrecht and New Business Case take place, the Public Ministry is committed to ensuring that prosecutors support the evidence and achieve justice. that is long forOn some questions about the slowness in the Panamanian justice, where some say that the United States is ahead of Panama, Caraballo maintains that the process in the investigation for the Odebrecht Case is complex, which involves transactions not only from our country, but from several countries that took a long time in research.”These processes are already in the hands of the Judicial Branch, we know that a series of dilatory appeals have been filed, but we hope that these hearings will be held soon and that once and for all we will be able to settle these cases by determining the criminal responsibility of the people linked to this fact,” he reported.He added that in no way the pronouncement of the Secretary of the United States, to designate former President Martinelli as ineligible, puts pressure on the Panamanian justice system and the Judicial Branch.What do some analysts think?The political analyst, Jaime Porcell, believes that this situation represents a magnificent opportunity to immediately observe what repercussions could affect Martinelli’s reputation and candidacy.Porcell indicated that in the absence of a trial that allows the presumption of innocence, Blinken adduces credible information, sure based on information provided by the children, which fits like a glove into a contrary strategy that desperately tries to prevent the former president from run for the next elections.“The State Department’s declaration of infeasibility should embolden the adversary. It acts as a spur to a Panamanian justice that, until today, has not managed to get a single guilty verdict in 22 of 24 cases,” he said.The professor and professor of Constitutional Law, Miguel Antonio Bernal, opined that “it is not a secret that Panamanian justice is an ocean of corruption that grows once again and is flooding this country and at all levels.”He said that he agrees that the United States government, using its laws, intervenes to impose certain restrictions on the former president, but what he does not think is the interference that he described as improper, irresponsible and unacceptable by the Ambassador of the United States in Panama, Mari Carmen Aponte, with threats of “who has more names of corrupt.” “Everything seems to indicate that what they are looking for is to prevent Ricardo Martinelli from running for the general elections, for fear of the government candidate, José Gabriel Carrizo.”

LINTON BAY comes on the heels of $144 Million earmarked for Colon tourism in 2025.

OP ED: Colon has been a shithole and armpit for an entirely too long time. These outer areas of Panama have needed to be addressed for decades (espescially BOCAS del TORO ) in order to truly maximize the “tourism” of PANAMA.  Honestly, NOBODY comes to Panama to hang out in Panama …
