The Association of Free Consumers of Panama (ACL), regrets that once again the National Assembly legislates against users by approving bill 986 in the first debate, which establishes the regulatory framework for the use of information technology platforms and communication, in the luxury taxi service.
Raúl Molina, president of the ACL, insisted that bill 986 seeks to take the country back 30 years and that digital platforms stop being a private service to turn it into a bad public service, which held users hostage until Digital platforms arrived, which already operate in thousands of markets, as a private and legal option to which all users have the right.
Molina said that this law only has one beneficiary: the concessionaires who are the same ones who profit and have hijacked the taxi service that has not been modernized and now want to do the same with digital platforms: get in to corrupt the system, fill up pockets, regardless of the user.
