PANAMA — A turbulent crisis is shaking the Republic of Panama. Labor strikes, school closures, and roadblocks have paralyzed the nation.

The Republic of Panama has been paralyzed for more than three weeks by labor strikes, closed schools and roadblocks throughout the national territory. “Panamanians, I believe in democracy and as president, I understand the clamor of the voices that are manifesting on the particular.”
