The announcement by President  Laurentino Cortizo, on Monday, that the price of fuel will be frozen at $3.95 a gallon for private cars along with the freezing of the price of 10 basic food items has failed, to quieten the voices of protestors.

Teachers, indigenous people, producers, carriers, trade unionists, and other sectors have stated that the announced measures are not satisfactory, so they will continue the teachers' strike and the street protests that began last week.

Meanwhile, construction workers took to the streets in the capital city and across the country and major highways remain closed by protesters  at multiple points

It is expected that today, Tuesday, at 2 in the afternoon, the dialogue will resume in Santiago, Veraguas, despite yesterday's aborted  meeting between government representatives and members of Anadepo , which brings together 22 organizations.

For more than a week, educators, trade unionists, and active forces have been demanding answers from the National Government regarding fuel, the basic food basket, medicines, education, and health.
