Leftists claim Panama Canal directors suck

Nicolás Corcione Pérez Balladares and José A. Sosa Arango have a proven track record of dead construction workers and tens of millions of stolen dollars, so we think they are the perfect choice to govern the Panama Canal. But FRENADESO of course disagrees.

ACP and Government Start Spending Spree To Buy Panama Canal Vote

By |

Martin Torrijos' government and the Panama Canal Authority ACP have set out on a massive spending spree in an effort that can only be seen as an attempt to buy the YES vote in the 22 October referendum about the proposed Panama Canal expansion. Noriegaville learned from a high placed source inside the government that radio stations in the interior of the country are being paid $50,000 in exchange for slanting their programming towards a YES. $50k is a lot of money for stations that would otherwise not even make such profits in a year. Even independent journalist organizations appear to be bought, sold and paid for: The head of the National Council for Journalism has admitted that he is working for the YES campaign - a flagrant conflict of interest. But that is not all.

Last week was the pivoting point. The small support margin for the proposed Panama Canal expansion project disappeared and if a referendum would be held today, the proposal would be rejected. The pro-government newspapers have stopped publishing polls. There are protest marches in the streets by schoolteachers who demand decent pay for their work. The police quashes protests in the interior with tear gas when teachers march on the Panamerican Highway.
