Panama's Law 462 Reform Talks Collapse: National Dialogue Fails

Panama Law 462 Reform Talks Collapse Amidst Lack of National Dialogue Panama City, Panama – Efforts to initiate a national dialogue on reforming Law 462 have failed, leaving the crucial legislation unchanged. The video report by RPNoticias Panamá highlights the speaker's concerns over the lack of political will to engage in meaningful discussions. The law, passed democratically with the support of 48 deputies, is considered vital by many. "This is a very important law that was passed using the democratic methods of the country," stated the speaker in the video. The speaker also lamented the missed opportunity for consensus-building, noting the extensive efforts made by ministers who spent 'eight or ten days' trying to reach an agreement. The breakdown in negotiations raises questions about the future of the reform process and the potential consequences for Panama. The lack of dialogue underscores the challenges of achieving political consensus on critical issues in the country.
