In July 2022, protests broke out in Panama. They were reportedly triggered by rising inflation, corruption, and a cost of living crisis. [4] The economy has suffered as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Russo-Ukrainian War. [5] On 18 July, Panama City saw the country's largest protest. [6] President Laurentino Cortizo's government deal to cut fuel prices was rejected by trade unions. [7] Protestors blocked sections of the transcontinental Pan-American Highway. [8] On 27 July, security minister Juan Manuel Pino Forero said that the roads were clear for the first time. [9] On 2 August, the teachers strike concluded. [10]
The government initially selectively froze fuel for collective and selective transportation carriers at US$3.95/gallon at the start of June; [11] they subsequently extended the price freeze to transporters of agricultural cargo. [12] After this price freeze, the National Assembly celebrated the re-election of its president, Crispiano Adames. [13] This joined a long list of other complaints of corruption which have not been investigated by the corresponding authorities, like the approval of the re-election of the rector of the Universidad Autónoma de Chiriquí [14] or the supposed nepotism in the management of the Assembly payroll, [15] among others.
