AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Political Shake-Up: Former President Martín Torrijos launched UNE, pitching it as a break from “traditional party” politics and signaling he’s gearing up for the 2029 race—right as voter frustration with established forces keeps rising. Security & Justice: President Mulino doubled down on a no-negotiations stance with gangs, linking recent shootings to criminal power struggles inside prisons and pushing tougher pretrial detention. Regional Flashpoints: Panama and Costa Rica reignited their trade fight, with Costa Rica calling Panama’s agricultural limits a “trade blockade” and moving toward international action. World Cup Focus: Panama’s World Cup return is set for June 11, with key matches including Ghana vs Panama (June 17) and Panama vs Croatia (June 23), while FIFA and YouTube promise a wider free viewing start for fans. Diplomacy & Shipping: South Korea urged Iran to clarify its position after an attack tied to a Panama-flagged HMM vessel, as navigation safety remains the headline concern. Bolivia Unrest: Clashes near La Paz saw roadblocks, tear gas, and dozens detained amid an economic crisis.
