BYE. The ordinary sessions of the Assembly end this Thursday, April 30. The legislative year has practically concluded, without progress in the anti-corruption agenda, without modifications to the internal regulations, with the payroll larger and with the VIP offices functioning. Everything the same or worse. Justly Jorge Herrera He is a candidate for re-election.
IN. It was the turn of the bench of the PRD. Yesterday they met with the president José Raúl Mulino and some of his ministers and advisors. As if the outlook were not gloomy enough, Ventura VegaSecretary General of the Comptroller’s Office. This character was also there the day before, when Mulino met with the RM bench. Their presence gives the rest of the citizens the right to think whatever about what was happening there…
SPECIALISTS. President Mulino complained about the “opinologists” and Sebastián Peña, from the Merca Panama Merchants Association, about the “advisers.” There are also “parentologists” and “friendologists”, but no one talks about them. Don’t those bother the president?
TEASE 1. The Arraiján Mayor’s school bus now circulates with the mayor’s face covered with an emoticon. In a serious country, this act would be considered concealment of evidence and would have had immediate consequences.
MOCKER 2. Mayor Stefany Peñalba has not gotten out of one mess and is already getting into another. Now she has launched a book of children’s stories titled “Getting to know Arraiján with the mayor”, in which she is the protagonist of the story. Peñalba promotes her “work” with publications in which she appears surrounded by children. Does the use of minors make the electoral purpose of that material less questionable?
DETAIL. All Assembly officials who are on “investigative leave without pay” are temporary. It turns out that the rule indicates that a casual worker does not qualify for a license. It seems that the Comptroller’s Office found a way to violate the law twice.
COME ON. This Thursday, a lawsuit will be filed against the comptroller, for alleged excess of functions. He won’t be able to say that no one warned him.
