Ana Matilde GOMEZ“I will not pay a fine to delinquents...”
The perverted fantasies of Giselle Burillo »
The cheap attempt to use Palacios’s suspicious reappearance as some sort of “evidence” that the government did nothing wrong and is being falsely accused is a dumb and transparent ploy to distract from the indisputable fact that Martinelli’s gang of thugs did kill at least 4 people in Bocas, and likely more. Including small children.
Panamax 2010 arms fair trains wacky coup scenario »
This year, inspired by events in Bocas, they have created a new doom scenario to practice: an indigenous coup d’etat. This would of course be a clear danger to the Canal, because everybody knows that mafiosi are to be fully trusted running the waterway and indigenous banana planters are not.
Panama ambassador defends international outcast Martinelli »
Alemán’s defense of Martinelli is right out of the Goebbels propaganda textbook, along the lines of “Hitler built highways and the trains left on time”.
Tourists start boycotting Panama »
Martinelli’s fascist rule, killing of opponents, harassment of the opposition and journalists, and assault on the environment are resulting in an emerging tourist boycott of Panama.
Protests in Spain against Martinelli »
On top of protests all over Panama, labor unions in Spain marched in front of Panama’s consulate in Barcelona, which is headed by a nephew of our First Lady in good nepotist fashion.
CHAOS: Does Panama still have one government? »
The number of contradictions, bizarre statements, frantic denials and then confirmations is growing at a speed that makes us wonder, here in the Bananama Republic newsroom, if Panama still has one functioning government.
Martinelli overruled by his ministers, attempts to gain time »
Two important conclusions from today: Martinelli is further isolated within his own governing coalition as they’ve shown us where to drive the wedge, and when it comes to street battle, the police loses.

Martinelli needs to go. Or the Panameñistas, if they have any decency left at all in their asses after a year of assuming the 99 position, should send him away.
Terror in Bocas del Toro as government prepares massacre »
We predict however that the protests will not be contained, but spread over the country, because Martinelli has been majestically overplaying his hand and he and his people don’t seem to be handicapped by such things as “common sense”. It’s no longer if, but when the first Super99 will go up in flames.
Police assassinates protesters, more journalists arrested, orders to capture labor leaders in Panama war zone »
Police in Bocas kills four and wounds tens of unarmed protesters; trying to arrest union leaders for “disrespecting the president”; more journalists arrested in accelerating repression in Panama.

Panamanians don’t believe Martinelli’s economy hype »
After a year Martinelli, endless hype and babble, the introduction of various wacky mega miracle schemes, imbecile laws and bipolar presidential craziness, the vast majority of Panamanians just doesn’t see it happen, economically speaking.
Martinelli’s approval rate crushed under string of scandals and screw-ups »
Martinelli’s approval rate plummeted another 11% to 49%. But that number, dear reader, refers to the month of May, which is before Martinelli set out on a collision course with the citizenry ramming the mega-controversial “sausage law” through the assembly. So one may reasonably expect the current approval rate to be another ten to twenty percent lower.
Government prepares anti-gun law with new Spanish words in it »
The only ones who are totally unaffected by the law are the criminals. They never cared for licenses and other gun-rules anyway, so the new measures won’t change that much for them. Well done, Mulino!
Martinelli loses grasp of reality »
While Martinelli was doing imitations of Charlie Chaplin playing Hitler, the protest march that was held in the real world was entirely peaceful, and the biggest of such events since those held against Martin Torrijos’s social security reforms, about five years ago.
