The Ombudsman’s Office gave five municipalities, which supposedly charge admission to their beaches, a period of five business days to answer some questions about the legal basis of said measure.
According to the director of Protection of Human Rights of the Ombudsman’s Office, Julio De Gracia, this term was granted to the municipalities of Taboga, San Carlos, Arraiján, San Félix and Colón.
It stressed that the institution continues a complaint filed for alleged violation of the right to Legal Order and requests a response as established in Article 27 of Law 7 of February 5, 1997.
De Gracia assured that the deadline to answer the questions asked by the Ombudsman’s Office expires next Tuesday, January 24, so they are waiting for the answers before this date arrives.
“The Ombudsman will remain vigilant to determine whether or not there is a violation of the human rights of the Panamanian population,” he said.
