Although the general elections are more than two years away on the calendar, the opposition parties are beginning to appear together in the media. Last Sunday’s breakfast, organized by the re-elected president of the Panameñista Party, José Isabel Blandón, was a courtesy appointment that is customary on special dates, in this case, the renewal of the directive in the Panamanian convention.
Along the same lines, Blandón revealed that after this meeting, “I was amused by all the type of reaction that there has been, we have identified two very well-defined ‘call centers’: Martinelli’s on the one hand, who we did not invite; the one from Lombana on the other hand, whom we invited, but he did not want to attend, he never gave an excuse, he never responded to the invitation or to say that he was going or not going ”.
He mentioned that the approach of both groups has been to question an alliance when “no one here spoke of an alliance, they are the ones speaking of an alliance.”
“What we cannot lose at any time, as political leaders, is to sit down and talk with other sectors about national problems, even if we do not agree on all issues,” said Blandón.
According to the president of the Panameñistas, for the next electoral contest in 2024 Panama needs a proposal that brings together different sectors and is based on a country vision: where we want our country to go, the changes that are required in economic matters , among others.
