Street battle may be over in Bocas del Toro and daily life may slowly resume in the town of Changuinola, but we're only now getting a first glimpse at the size of the stinking mess president Martinelli and his government have caused.
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.
Infighting in the government, unions and environmentalists call for consumer boycott of Super99, daily protest marches, "sausage law" unites Chamber of Commerce and SUNTRACS in their rejection of it, new "lobster law" presented and more to come.
Today, Friday, The national assembly continues its second debate about the so-called "ley chorizo". How Martinelli wants to appease the Motta family and civil society protests police impunity, anti-environment and anti-labor measures.
We're getting instant updates from environmental activists who have made their way into the National Assembly in an attempt to put an end to the "sausage law" that eliminates the need for environmental impact studies for Martinelli-approved projects; violates the workers' right to strike and gives the police total impunity for whatever crimes they commit.
Panama's mafia rulers are passing a law during salami slapping sessions in the Assembly to "promote aviation", which includes impunity for the police in case they commit a crime. Any crime.
