    Panama: Political and Economic Conditions and U.S. Relations Mark P. Sullivan Specialist in Latin American Affairs November 27, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL30981 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Panama: Political and Economic Conditions and U.S. Relations Summary With five successive elected civilian governments, the Central American nation of Panama has made notable political and economic progress since the 1989 U.S. military intervention that ousted the regime of General Manuel Antonio Noriega from power. Current President Ricardo Martinelli of the center-right Democratic Change (CD) party was elected in May 2009, defeating the ruling center-left Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) in a landslide. Martinelli was inaugurated to a five-year term on July 1, 2009. Martinelli’s Alliance for Change coalition with the Panameñista Party (PP) also captured a majority of seats in Panama’s National Assembly. Panama’s service-based economy has been booming in recent years – with a growth rate of 7.6% in 2010 and 10.6% in 2011 – largely because of the ongoing Panama Canal expansion project, now slated for completion in early 2015. The CD’s coalition with the PP fell apart at the end of August 2011when President Martinelli sacked PP leader Juan Carlos Varela as Foreign Minister. Varela, however, retains his position as Vice President. Tensions between the CD and the PP had been growing throughout 2011, largely related to which party would head the coalition’s ticket for the 2014 presidential election. Despite the breakup of the coalition, the strength of the CD has grown significantly since 2009 because of defections from the PP and the PRD and it now has a majority on its own in the legislature.

    AMERICAS By RANDAL C.

Panama’s election commission declared the president-elect to be Juan Carlos Varela, who is vice president but broke with the governing party in a rancorous falling-out and was stripped of many of his duties.

  • Las Elecciones En Panamá
    Área: América Latina - ARI Nº 78/2004 Fecha 28/04/2004 Las elecciones en Panamá Natalia Royo Tema: El 2 de mayo de 2004 se celebrarán elecciones generales en la República de Panamá y se percibe con mayor énfasis que en los comicios anteriores el carácter personalista de esta campaña, con ausencia de programas de tendencia ideológica. Realmente no existen partidos ideológicos y el resultado de los proyectos políticos de los distintos candidatos en temas como la pobreza, seguridad, salud, democracia, servicios públicos, justicia o cultura no contrastan sustancialmente entre sí y se analizan desde un punto de vista pragmático. La lucha contra la corrupción es un tema crucial en la campaña. Resumen: En estas próximas elecciones en Panamá para elegir presidente, 2 vicepresidentes, 75 alcaldes, 78 legisladores, 619 representantes de corregimiento y 7 concejales con sus respectivos suplentes, existen cuatro fuerzas importantes: el PRD con Martín Torrijos, el Partido Solidaridad con Guillermo Endara, el Partido Arnulfista (actualmente en el poder) con José Miguel Alemán y, como candidato independiente, Ricardo Martinelli, que ha creado el Partido Cambio Democrático. Pese a la importancia de las alianzas que han ayudado a incrementar la adhesión a los distintos partidos, todo parece apuntar a que el ganador en los próximos comicios será Martín Torrijos, hijo del fallecido Jefe de Gobierno durante el gobierno militar de 1968 a 1978, Omar Torrijos, y principal ejecutor de los Tratados Torrijos-Carter para la devolución del Canal. Análisis: Después de unos turbulentos años 80, cuando el proceso reformista militar para restaurar el poder civil iniciado por Omar Torrijos se interrumpió después de su muerte, se afianzó el poder de los militares encabezados por Noriega.

MOSS: Well, I guess my case was a little bit unusual and I wasn't quite a career Ambassador and wasn't quite a run-of-the-mill political appointee. I'd been in the Foreign Service as a career from 1964-1971, had served in Spain, on the Spanish Desk and at the U.S. Mission of the OAS. And, in that latter capacity, had worked for [Ambassador 1 Ellsworth] Bunker and [Ambassador Sol M.] Linowitz. I left in 1971, went into law practice in Europe, then came back in as a political appointee in the beginning of the Carter Administration in February of 1977. Invited by Linowitz and Bunker, who were the co-negotiators for the Panama Canal Treaty to join the negotiating team.

  • Panama 2018 Human Rights Report
    PANAMA 2018 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Panama is a multiparty constitutional democracy. In 2014 voters chose Juan Carlos Varela Rodriguez as president in national elections that international and domestic observers considered generally free and fair. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Human rights issues included undue restrictions on free expression, the press, and the internet, including censorship, site blocking, and criminal libel; and widespread corruption. The Varela administration and the Public Ministry continued investigations into allegations of corruption against public officials. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary Deprivation of Life and Other Unlawful or Politically Motivated Killings There were no reports the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. b. Disappearance There were no reports of disappearances by or on behalf of government authorities. c. Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment The constitution prohibits such practices, and there were no reports that government officials employed them. In 2017 civilian correctional officers used batons and tear gas to control inmates who refused to be transported. Penitentiary System authorities investigated the incident and dismissed the case, citing evidence that showed standard procedures were enforced due to serious misconduct by the inmates. In May the PANAMA 2 Ombudsman’s Office decried the possible use of excessive force and the conclusion of the penitentiary authorities. Prison and Detention Center Conditions Prison conditions remained harsh, due primarily to overcrowding, a shortage of prison guards, and inadequate medical services and sanitary conditions. Physical Conditions: As of August the prison system, with an intended capacity of 14,842 inmates, held 16,069 prisoners.
