Justice delayed 15 years is not justice

A saying that is repeated very frequently in Panama is that delayed justice is not justice. And that is what the patients of the Social Security Fund (CSS) poisoned with diethylene glycol receive from our Judicial Branch. For more than fifteen years, patients have been waiting for them to pay the corresponding compensation for the negligence incurred by officials of this entity in the manufacture of medicines for use by the insured. The worst thing is that not everyone will enjoy the desired justice they demand, because in these fifteen years, after serious poisoning, dozens of patients lost their lives without having seen an ounce of solidarity or a penny of compensation. It is the hypocrisy of our authorities, who claim that they do care about the fate of poisoned people when their actions say the opposite. It causes pain and shame that justice is not diligent and the CSS does not assume once and for all its responsibility for the damage caused by its medicines to hundreds of people who trusted in the quality of their medicines, when what they received was a withering poison that ruined their lives. Enough of excuses and face your responsibility! – LA PRENSA May 29.
