PANAMA HOLDS A RESPONSIBILITY TO BE A BEACON OF DEMOCRACY AND ORDER, AND IT FEELS OUTSIDE OF THE CAPITAL, THIS ADMINISTRATION COULD GIVE A SHIT! 190% INCREASE IN HOMICIDES

The first 38 days of the new year are marked by violence in the streets. So far in 2023, 57 homicides have been reported, 27 more than in the same days of 2022.The figures represent a 190% increase in murders. Most of the crimes have occurred in Panama, Colon and San Miguelito. And, they are related to organized crime.Although, there are also victims of robberies and heinous crimes. Acts of violence are disrupting public order and causing a perception of insecurity. The first victim of violence this year was in the San Miguelito district. It is about a 27-year-old young man, who was killed by a bullet in the jaw when he was in his house. Four hooded individuals arrived there with the intention of stealing, who threatened the victim’s mother, who came out to defend her, and shot her.Another crime also occurred in San Miguelito when a dog sniffing in a bag found the head of a human.“What is happening in San Miguelito is due to drug riots that have awakened old disputes and promote fights for control of territory between criminal groups that operate in the sector and are responsible for 80% of the homicide cases that they have been registered”, explained. Juan Manuel Pino, Minister of Security.The Ministry of Security has deployed 300 members of the National Police, the National Aeronaval Service and the National Border Service in the district of San Miguelito as part of the operational and police actions to dismantle organized gang groups, which are responsible for the acts of violence and homicides registered in recent days. “We are going to continue confiscating weapons, drugs, money and dismantling criminal organizations,” Pino said.guns on the streetCriminologist Marco Aurelio Álvarez explained that violence as a lifestyle is caused by a lack of respect for human dignity.In the opinion of the criminologist, the homicides tell us two things: firstly, that the firearms that must be guarded by the security forces are in the hands of ordinary people on the streets and criminal gangs, who see death as the ideal mobile to solve the problems of criminal businesses. “This leads us to think of illegal arms trafficking,” he warned.And, secondly, that deaths from homicide – a violent mechanism – are increasing in the country because more and more entire families are living off crime.stop crime“Creole crime has kidnapped the Panamanian population. We must put a stop to it, once again executing the anti-gang law so that everyone who lives off crime goes to prison as a social lesson,” Álvarez recommended.Another of the most relevant homicides occurred in Panama City when the body of a hairstylist was found in a state of decomposition in a bag at the Cerro Patacón landfill.The sociologist Gilberto Toro explained that we are in a kind of “pressure cooker”, in constant “economic stress”. There are people who are not criminals, but who are unemployed or earn very little to meet their expenses and become desperate that can affect their behavior.economic stressHe added that we could be facing an abandonment of the values ​​​​to reinforce the counter-values. In other words, shame and modesty are lost in the behaviors and way of thinking of an individual.In the world of crime, at the level we are at, “gambling is death” because of the value of the drug, which is compared to human life. A hitman, for example, only charges for the dead, said the expert.In his opinion, the increase in criminal actions could also be related to a poor job offer, which competes with a productive criminal offer.
