According to Leblanc, there is no obligation to vaccinate any Panamanian or foreigner, and as indicated by the United Nations High Commissioner, it cannot be introduced by force.
The Ombudsman, Eduardo Leblanc González traveled this Wednesday to San Félix, Chiriquí, to mediate a dialogue table, given the recent road closures by groups from the Ngäbe-Buglé region in this part of the country.
He clarified that vaccination against Covid-19 is not mandatory due to the alleged conditioning of receiving the universal scholarship if they agreed to be vaccinated.
According to Leblanc, there is no obligation to vaccinate any Panamanian or foreigner, and as indicated by the United Nations High Commissioner, it cannot be introduced by force, but if some type of administrative requirements can be made, the states.
“We are going to San Félix to seek a dialogue and we ask the cacica Elena Cruz, to participate and talk with people, what we cannot allow is that third parties are affected, but primarily the children who must go to their schools” , remarked the Defender.
