Panamanian pensioners expressed cautious optimism following a meeting with President José Raúl Mulino regarding a proposed law impacting their benefits. The “Mundo de Jubilados” movement deemed the meeting – which included the business sector – a positive step, signaling a willingness from the administration to engage in dialogue. However, they remain critical of arguments presented concerning the potential economic repercussions of the legislation. Pensioners are hoping the meeting will result in assurances that the law will be sanctioned. They aim to leave the presidential palace convinced of the law’s approval and its positive effect on their financial security. The group seeks a resolution that addresses their needs while also acknowledging the concerns of the business community. Ultimately, they anticipate a favourable outcome regarding the legislative process.
