Resulta alentadora su vocación multifacética que, indudablemente, provoca encontrar tiempo de nuestros cotidianos quehaceres para atender su petición de hilvanar algunas ideas en torno a su nuevo libro: “Comisiones Legislativas. Historia y Actualidad”. Este esfuerzo del Magister Ford González constituye un inédito trabajo sobre la historia de las Comisiones Legislativas en Panamá, así como sus orígenes y desenvolvimiento a través de largas jornadas de los pueblos, orientadas al fortalecimiento del Parlamento. En este sentido, es de rigor señalar que las Comisiones surgen como consecuencia de la necesidad de establecer estructuras que garanticen la especialidad en el desarrollo de las funciones de la Cámara, a raíz de las profundas transformaciones políticas, económicas y sociales que surgen con la Revolución Industrial. Anteriormente, el Pleno concentraba todas las funciones de la institución. Las Comisiones Permanentes son cuerpos colegiados que desarrollan funciones de conformidad con los lineamientos funcionales señalados en el Reglamento Interno. Estas funciones se fundamentan en el principio de especialidad. Las Comisiones son cuerpos técnicos en donde se realiza el estudio y análisis preliminar de un proyecto o asunto sometido a su consideración. Este estudio se caracteriza por ser detallista y pormenorizado. Las Comisiones estarán integradas procurando la representación proporcional de la minoría. Generalmente, las Comisiones del Parlamento están integradas por parlamentarios de los distintos grupos políticos, que forman la entidad en forma proporcional en atención a sus funciones. Existen distintas clases a saber: Permanentes, para materias especializadas; especiales, formadas con el propósito de estudiar asuntos especiales, no contempladas en las atribuciones de las permanentes. Por ejemplo, las Comisiones de Investigación. De allí que,

  • PANAMA Presidential and Legislative Elections
    Report May 2019 PANAMA Presidential and legislative elections Post-election report Political Analysis Regulatory Information Service EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The presidential and legislative elections of the Republic of Panama took place May 5. Laurentino Cortizo (Revolutionary Democratic Party) is emerging as winner with 33.18% of the vote, versus 31.04% so far for Rómulo Roux (Democratic Change). If the trend continues as the remaining votes are counted, Cortizo is set to become President of Panama for the 2019-2024. DL4AMERICAS.ORG The elections took place amid widespread public disapproval of the government of Juan Carlos Varela, who is seen as having been too preoccupied with infrastructure projects to the detriment of social policies to tackle inequality. Against this backdrop, citizens were drawn to the presidential candidate that was most committed to narrowing the wealth gap across the country. DIRECTORIOLEGISLATIVO.ORG What was the vote for? On Sunday, May 5, presidential and legislative elections were held in Panama to elect the President of the Republic, two Vice Presidents and 71 Deputies for the 2019-2024 term. Electoral calendar The Political Constitution of the Republic of Panama dictates that the President should hold office for five years (Sec. 142). According to the Panamanian Electoral Code, elections shall be held "on the first Sunday of May in the year in which they are to be held" (Sec. 286). This year's vote was held Sunday, May 5. Will there be a second round? In line with the Constitution, the President is elected by majority and direct vote (Sec. 172). Therefore, there is no second round of elections for the presidential elections of the Republic of Panama.

  • Panama 2019 Human Rights Report
    PANAMA 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Panama is a multiparty constitutional democracy. In May voters chose Laurentino Cortizo Cohen as president in national elections that international and domestic observers considered generally free and fair. The country has no military forces. The Panama National Police (PNP) is principally responsible for internal law enforcement and public order, while additional security forces are responsible for border control and aero naval security. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Significant human rights issues included: harsh prison conditions; restrictions on free expression, the press, and the internet, including through censorship and criminal libel lawsuits; and forced child labor. The law provides criminal penalties for corruption by officials, but the government generally did not implement the law effectively. 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. Prison and Detention Center Conditions PANAMA 2 Prison conditions remained harsh, primarily due to overcrowding, a shortage of prison guards, and inadequate medical services and sanitary conditions. Physical Conditions: As of September the prison system, with an intended capacity of 14,946 inmates, held 17,360 prisoners. Pretrial detainees shared cells with convicted prisoners due to space constraints.
