The dismissal of the director of the National Police comes after the release of a video in which Panamanian agents express support for their colleagues in Colombia, at a time when a wave of protests afflicts the neighboring country. Neither the disproportionate use of force by the Colombian establishment nor the complaints in this regard by the UN, the European Union, and various human rights organizations were sufficient to prevent, in an act of doubtful illumination, a privileged mind in The Police would find it appropriate to express publicly and elaborately its unrestricted support for the perpetrators of those humiliations. Such expressions of sympathy and solidarity are a slap in the face to the Constitution, which expressly prohibits the Police from issuing any type of support for political causes, much less for situations in another country. - LA PRENSA, May 23.
