The situation surrounding this disastrous and shameful mining concession agreement has undoubtedly worsened. The people, the true sovereign, in accordance with what is prescribed in Article 2 National Constitutionhe doesn’t want that and that based on very numerous and logical reasons, Apart from the fact that it is inconvenient for the state, for everyone. Law 406/23 came to destroy our internal public order and dealt a serious blow to the stability and social peace of Panamanians.
Those who rule have forgotten that public power, every emanation or radiation of it, comes and goes and belongs exclusively to the people. In the people is the mother root of the legitimacy of every government. public and political power.
In this sense, thanks to all the manifestations of clear, express and obvious refusal, before the Assembly would agree, in a very questionable way, to prove that shameful mining concession contract, and after it became the law of the state. , the behavior of the government and the central government itself leaves much to be said, including the actions of the countrymen who defend it without further arguments other than the inadequacy or little or no force of reason with a real legal pemsum Little or nothing What matters to the government is the express democratic dissent of a people, of his people, who simply and simply, all twinned, is against the said contract.
He People’s government accredits false complicity with foreign interests to the detriment and serious harm of the nation’s natural resources, victimizing the Panamanian people to the point of insecurity and humiliation and national outrage. Our sovereignty and national dignity are mortally wounded, the Motherland languishes in a gloomy puddle of humiliation.
The supposed “mining contract”, given that there is absolutely nothing of a “contract” given the abundance of lion clauses, burdensome to the state, I repeat, contains perverse and lion clauses that subjugate and subjugate Panamanian sovereignty and national territory. In many public interventions through social networks, I am in charge of publicizing them. With this contract, the Government put everything at the feet of the mining concessionaire: Ports, docks, canals, rivershydrographic basins, underwater, streets and roads, lands, in short, it should be understood that in a real mining concession contract, the state has the main say, not the mining company.
The state beats the drum, not the mining company. Here, in this contract, things were reversed, that is the mining company that dictated the rules of the game and he imposed his conditions. The government simply behaved like a schoolboy who records everything the teacher dictates. That’s what happened, because she expressed the desire and absolute will of the mining company in the clauses.
This contract is sponsored by theft of our institutions and our republican sense is destroyed.
This contract contains false clauses, twisted in the guise of lies and deception, such as, for example, that the alleged contribution of 375 million in favor of the Panamanian state can be reduced to a minimal expression of production reduction a company in the exploitation of precious metal. This will commence on 1 January 2026 (see clause XV).
On tax issues, things are very murky and dark: they will not generate tax wealth for the exchequer. Everything is included in the crumbs of the alleged 375 million. That is, zero benefit to the treasury the country of panama.
By confession, publication of evidence: National government neither the mining company at any time denied that the shareholders of this mining company are countries or other countries, such as: China, Singapore and South Korea. This is as unconstitutional as it is illegal.
This mining concession contract should rather be called a mining gift contract, because that is what it is actually given. It is not a new version of Hay Bunau Varillo, that treatise that contains disaster clause “in perpetuity”. and not a single Panamanian signed this, considering that in this contract, unfortunately, Panamanians sign, and what is most burdensome, they are their own authorities.
Two lawyers have already presented clear concepts of its apparent unconstitutionality. What is the court waiting to judge? When public order and peace in the country are threatened and seriously disturbed, there is no formality or legal requirement that would be valid. In the Court, there are examples of cases in which he omitted formal considerations and did so, precisely, consideration of issues of public order.
I end, finally, by condemning those who, in the name of law, promote theories of defeat and failure in international arbitration. As if the mining company was right. Not. Make no mistake. Reason and evidence are on the side of the Nation. Let it be until unconstitutionality, that is, by derogation Through the Law of that shameful contract, the Law is on our side. God bless the country!
