14 Gobernantes De Panamá Gobernantes:Maquetación 1 9/2/12 2:58 PM Página 1 GOBERNANTES DE PANAMÁ Panamá era parte del virreinato del Perú y luego en 1739 fue parte del nuevo virreinato de Nueva Granada. Este virreinato comenzó a independizarse de España desde 1810. Panamá la logró el 28 de noviembre de 1821. Después, en 1840, líderes panameños lograron independizarla de Nueva Granada y se creó el Estado del Istmo bajo la dirección de Tomás Herrera. Sin embargo este estado no pudo mantenerse independiente y en diciembre de 1841 volvió a formar parte de la entonces República de Nueva Granada, que a partir de 1886 se llamó República de Colombia. En 1903, la lucha entre diferentes grupos y una difícil situación en la construcción del Canal de Panamá motivó a los líderes panameños a recibir ayuda de Estados Unidos y así obtuvieron la separación de Colombia el 3 de noviembre de 1903. Demetrio H. Brid asumió el mando por un día mientras se constituyó la Junta Provisional de Gobierno, la cual gobernó del 4 de noviembre de 1903 al 19 de febrero de 1904.

Desde 1749 ese territorio fue gobernado por un Superintendente que le rendía cuentas al Gobernador de Jamaica, que era una isla dominada por los ingleses. Entre 1862 y 1884, el Superintendente fue sustituido por un Teniente de Gobernador y luego, a partir de este año, Belice contó con un Gobernador General que representaba al rey de los ingleses. Con la independencia de Belice en 1961, a los beliceños se les permitió la elección indirecta de un Premier o Primer Ministro. El Premier es escogido por la Cámara de Representantes, la cual es elegida por el pueblo cada cinco años. Pero el Jefe de Estado, de acuerdo a las leyes, sigue siendo el rey de Inglaterra o del Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña, que en la actualidad es la reina Elizabeth II.

    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.

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.

They were ac> "cusiomed to taking orders fr6m liliu because he, as general counsel of the railroad and of its owner, the New Panama Canal Company of France, was virtually the head of the operation. These potential instruments for revolution were Jose Augustin Arango, land agent and local attorney for the railroad, who was also its lobbyist in Bogota as Senator representing the Department of Panama; Captain James PL and port R.

Telltale data in an earlier version were de- leted. Even the 1905 pamphlet was removed from the Con- gressional Library in Washington. In it Arango said he re- fused to attend the 1903 session of the Colombian Congress because he was convinced the Hay-Herran Treaty would be rejected and that secession would be "the only way for the salvation of the Isthmus." Arango's official version was that he sought out Captain Beers, "a man of entire trustworthiness and excellent judg- ment having influence with persons in high places," and asked him to go to New York. Also that "Captain Beers ac- cepted the delicate mission and immediately left for the United States." The persons with influence in high places whom Beers knew were in Cromwell s office.
