Balabina fist-deep in CEMIS

More proof that Panamanian politicians are, with few exceptions, nothing but corrupt sleazeballs. In the CEMIS case file sits this piece of paper on which Stephen Jones dotted down how the bribes for the project were to be distributed. And guess who we find? Balbina Herrera, presidential candidate for the Piñadistas. Also there is the name of De la Hoz, a former PRD legislator who caused a lot of trouble when he felt left out of the deal. He talked about it with Perez Balladares aboard the latter's corruption yacht, and that conversation was recorded. De la Hoz describes for example how he attended a breakfast meeting with Balbina and Hector Aleman at Martin Torrijos' house to discuss how to divide the CEMIS loot.

Real estate alert! Remember Red Frog Beach Club? Trouble with SUNTRACS, trouble with environmentalists, trouble with the authorities, land disputes. Result: Virtually no work is being done and the project is basically dead. As in: Will never be finished. Next? Of course there is a next. Isla Viveros, in the Las Perlas archipelago.
