There are six conditions for a city to be attractive, and Panama lives up only to a couple of them.
In case you didn't know: The Pacific coast of Panama, from Chame to, say, San Carlos and Playa Blanca, is going through a crime wave. Last Friday night, we understood from Eric Jackson, armed men invaded restaurant Rancho Los Toros, robbed about a dozen people and stabbed at least one other.
You probably didn't believe we'd ever say this, but there finally came some good news out of the Martinelli administration. Last Monday a decree was published in the Gaceta Oficial, which opens Panama's doors to citizens from a list of countries who want to undertake some kind of business activity here.
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.
