Cat to sovereignty and national integration, not surrender

Twinned city against all injustice He has tremendous power, with his shouts and voices of rejection, to push away the giants of all evil.

This is what happened to him Alfaro/Kellog agreement rejected by the people of Panama In the month of December 1947, historic for the country, the Panamanian people, composed of students, professionals, women, workers, peasants, all gathered in the Patriotic Front, constantly opposed, without giving up, the approval of the Assembly, the shameful agreement of Filos Hines, celebrated between the then government and NOW. Note that this agreement was intended to populate the nation’s territory with North American military bases.

If you want to relive history, we recommend that you read the work that recorded the events and every detail. It is about “Influence Deciding on public opinion in rejecting the Filós Hines agreement 1947″, one of the managers of national unity who managed to standardize the national protest under a single slogan and a single flag, igniting, in the spirit of our compatriots at that time, a burning flame nationality and patriotism.

We refer to Professor David Acosta who at that time was the secretary of the Federal Association of the National Institute and who was also, together with the efforts of the young Carlos Calzadilla, at that time a prominent member Patriotic youth front and pillar and dominant figure of the protest, persistently and decisively, with unconditional commitment, together with a fraternal and united people, with true altruism towards the Motherland, fought for the shameful contract or agreement to be rejected. Also, in 1967, the Panamanian population rejected the 3-to-1 contracts.

An entire people loyal to the Motherland, as is the case even today, united by the blood of the terroir or the country in which we were born, fought for the representatives to withdraw the agreement in question, which, if approved, would have condemned to brutality and servility towards our territory and our population. We would lose our national character and be conquered by a power that would never let us go; perhaps today we would become a colony or protectorate of another nation.

The current oligarchy and its government said that this fundamental contract must be signed, because according to them it means a lot of money for the state and the government. In addition, they claimed that thousands of jobs would be created. These are the same current arguments against the mining law treaty (Act No. 406 of October 20, 2023) that gives mining companies and other nations our natural wealth and forces us into servility and the disappearance of our sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The people’s movement and all the people, categorically, he knew how to say No! according to the Philós Hines agreement of 1947. The repression could not contain the strong nationalist wave. Dignity and sovereignty cannot be valued with money. The women showed surprising unity. More than ten thousand women from all over the country, dressed in mourning for their country, came out to protest.

What happened with this disastrous agreement was almost as good as when They negotiated the Torrijos-Carter contracts. The oligarchy opposed the abolition of military bases. Same old arguments. Today, the government behaves the same as the politicians of that time. The issue with the Homeland and sovereignty eludes them. They don’t care at all.

According to the government, First Quantum or Minera Panamá, SA, is ours Chapulin Colorado, because they will save us from every accident or disaster. A disaster created by past governments and exacerbated by the current government’s misguided policies manage the economy, which led us to terrible debts and, what is worse, no development and progress. The above was aggravated by extremely centralist management.

We pointed out early on government, that this is the way of running the countrywith a dictatorial or autocratic tone, detached from the popular sectors, would take its toll.

They never built bridges with those sectors. Big mistake. Pride, on the one hand, and, on the other, undemocratic centralism, isolated them, as rulers, from society. Today, unfortunately, the government is isolated from these sectors and they cannot expect the popular sectors to join them at this moment in the exercise of political power. So, as happened with other rulers, so was this current one prisoner of the presidential palace and a guide of those who say they are from his “zero circle”.

Advisory notebooks, which people Watch the pirates and filibusters sink it more and more in the swamp of popular discredit. Without a doubt, we conclude, the government reaps everything it sows.

The issue of mining brought to light the contradictions that were isolating government. we write it Some time ago, when they started to hold political power, in one opinion they pointed out that boredom reigns among the population. The people are fed up.

So, don’t come out now with the story that they are the protagonists of the social struggle leftists, terrorists, anarchists. leaving, We are not by ourselves.

No way. We are professionals for objectivity and independence of criteria. We have always proposed good ideas for our country and for our people.

All of the above is contrary to the judicial terrorism that President Cortizo presented in his December 24 intervention or message to the country. The message was clear: Justice is at the service of repression. And even more serious is the fact that it is The Supreme Court does not take it for granted.

We agreed with a distinguished lawyer that the Supreme Court cannot isolate itself from the current crisis. Today, more than ever, it must play its role as controller of the country’s legality and constitutionality. And you have to do it on time. However, the Court Now he has two unconstitutional demands in his hands, which he must, hastily, resolve within the deadline “immediately” and end this patriotic agony in a clear defense our territory and our natural resources. The country will thank you.

God bless the country!
