The candidacy of former President Ricardo Martinelli for the presidency of the Republic in the May 2024 elections will be greatly affected by the declarations of the government of the United States (USA) where they declare him a corrupt person, as the internationalist lawyer Francisco “Paco” considers » Carreira, who assured that this situation «makes the ex-president very bad».
Let us remember that former President Martinelli founded a new political party -Realizando Metas- with which he seeks to reach the presidency of the Republic again in a presumable alliance with Cambio Democrático, if Yanibel Ábrego is elected as president of this group.
In his opinion it would be difficult to have a president with whom the US does not want to have relations with him, he said that these types of measures are to have a sanctioning effect, including people who are in the political arena.
He pointed out that there are still many things to happen and even if there is no magic ball to see the future, “there is no doubt that a situation like this is going to greatly affect the candidacy of former President Martinelli.”
He indicated that this designation of a corrupt person implies an immediate sanction, which is the prohibition of entry to the US for this person and his direct relatives (his wife and children).
