US EditionAP PHOTOS: Protests in Panama Enter Third Week, Challenging President Mulino
- Protests in Panama against Law 462, a potential mine reopening, and a U.S. Memorandum entered their third week in mid-May 2025, challenging President Jose Raul Mulino's administration.
- The unrest followed a failed government effort to negotiate with labor unions and groups including Suntracs, teachers, and Indigenous communities opposing the reforms and agreements.
- Protesters organized road blockades nationwide and clashed with Panama's Crowd Control Unit in Veraguas, while key industries, like banana production in Bocas del Toro, remained paralyzed.
- On May 15, Mulino asserted that no matter what sacrifices are required, the nation would remain operational. He also declared that he would not permit Suntracs to control the country and declined to engage in further negotiations.
- The government has not decided on suspending constitutional guarantees but warned it remains possible, indicating ongoing tensions and uncertainties in Panama’s response to the protests.
