Panama sees fresh demonstrations and roadblocks as pressure groups turn their backs on a deal signed with the government to end protests in exchange for a fuel price cut
Pressure groups continue a weeks-long movement against rising inflation and corruption in the Central American country, saying a deal with the government to end protests was"signed under pressure."
After union leaders consulted grassroots supporters on the deal announced on Sunday, it was decided to continue the protest, said Luis Sanchez, a leader of the Anadepo civic grouping on Monday.channel. The outpouring has cost the economy millions of dollars in losses and has led to shortages of fuel and food in some parts of the country, according to the private sector.
Last week, it had already reduced the petrol price to $3.95 from $5.20 per gallon in June, but this was not enough to appease the demonstrators. The biggest protest on Monday was in the capital, with members of the Suntracs construction union closing access to roads with burning tire barricades, causing massive traffic backups.
