Executive Distances Itself From Attorney General Controversy
(Panama-Guide) (Source: LINETT LYNCH for La Estrella) Panama's president Ricardo Martinelli continued his efforts yesterday to distance himself from the controversy surrounding Attorney General Ana Matilde Gomez and the potential that the Supreme Court might decide to remove her from office. The Executive Branch has used a mixed strategy of defense and avoidance on this issue, which included statements from the president early in the day and the release of an official press release later in the afternoon.
