Panama will take action against countries that include Panama in discriminatory lists
Panama will take action against countries that include Panama in discriminatory lists The President of the Republic, José Raúl Mulino, asked the new diplomatic team that will accompany his government to make Panama’s voice heard abroad in rejection of the discriminatory lists that affect the country’s international image.
“The country that has us on these lists will not have the right to anything from Panama, neither to a vote in favor nor to contracts with the Nation, much less to important tenders. They are not going to be there, just like that,” said Mulino at the opening ceremony of the refresher day for the new officials of the Panamanian foreign service.
The president announced that the rejection of Panama being included in these discriminatory lists is part of an international campaign that will begin with the speech he will give at the next assembly of the United Nations (UN), where he will highlight the injustice that is committed against the country. “We do not have the capacity to react as a foreign power has, because we are not. But we do have dignity and we are going to apply it accordingly, where appropriate,” Mulino said.

Panamanians in the Major Leagues begin a Three-Game Series
With the start of the penultimate date of the qualifying round of the Major Leagues, the Tampa Bay Rays, where José “Chema” Caballero from Sante plays, and the Philadelphia Phillies, team of Edmundo Sosa from the capital, began a particular series this Monday.
Both Panamanians have stood out this season, although a muscle injury will keep Sosa out of action for 10 days. Sosa, recently recognized by the MLB as a model player, has improved his offensive average to .264, with 35 runs scored and 30 RBIs, surpassing his numbers from last year. For his part, “Chema” Caballero has established himself in the Rays’ infield and, with 39 stolen bases, leads the American League, getting closer to the title that Chirican Omar Moreno won in 1978-79 with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The series is held at Citizen Bank Park, home of the Phillies, and will conclude this Wednesday. With about 15 games remaining, some teams are already classified, but the fight for the last places will be defined in the coming days. The end of the season is near!
