Retired citizens in Panama are protesting outside the Banco Nacional, demanding full and timely pension payments. The protest centers around funds allocated under Law 15 of 2017, which established a special fund sourced from confiscated assets from public administration corruption cases. Pensioners, represented by the “Mundos” movement, criticize the lengthy delays in receiving the complete amount they are legally entitled to. Guillermo Cortés, a spokesperson for the movement, voiced frustration over the waiting period for full disbursement. The law intended to provide financial security for retirees using recovered illicit funds. Protesters argue the funds are available and should be released without further delay, highlighting a perceived injustice in the current system. The situation underscores ongoing concerns about transparency and efficiency in the distribution of these recovered assets.
