Ricardo Martinelli Reiterates His Frustrations With The Panamanian Justice System
(Panama-Guide) Panama's President Ricardo Martinelli on Thursday reiterated how he feels "frustrated and mocked" due to the way the justice system has handled the case against former president Ernesto Perez Balladares. While speaking at a ceremony to mark the tenth anniversary of the reversion of the Panama Canal to Panamanian control, Martinelli said justice must be applied equally to all. "It should not be true that justice is only for those people who have no resources, while those who are rich and have political contacts and power get away without being punished," he said.
