After a group of members of the LGTBIQ community will hold a protest at the Supreme Court of Justice demanding that the magistrates decide on the law that will allow marriage between people of the same sex, the pre-candidate for deputy for free application, Jean Marcell Chéry announced on Radio Panama that pro-family members will hold a protest against this law.
“We are going to hold a demonstration on the steps of the Supreme Court of Justice on Wednesday, January 11,” he said, specifying that they will meet from 4 in the afternoon onwards.
The objective of this protest is to send a message to the Supreme Court magistrates that “the majority of Panamanians believe in traditional marriage, we believe in the family and we are willing to defend this institution that is marriage,” he said, emphasizing that in Panama only traditional marriage between a man and a woman is legal.
In recent days, the president of the Association of New Men and Women of Panama (AHMNP), Ricardo Beteta, in an interview with Radio Panama, indicated that they are confident that the Court will give a ruling of law that determines “that at the constitutional level there is no there is no impediment for a same-sex couple to marry, it cannot be sustained that at the constitutional level that marriage is only between a man and a woman because the constitution does not say so and if the constitution does not say so you cannot create laws based on things that are not contemplated in the Constitution of the Republic”.
