 For the last two weeks massive mobilizations have been taking place across Panama against the high cost of living marked by an escalating economic crisis. The protests began on July 1st after the government showed no interest in addressing the issue or meeting with activists for negotiations to solve the crisis. Panamanian social movements and trade unions from across diverse sectors with Panamanian society including the National Front for the Defense of Economic and Social Rights Frenadezo and the single union of construction workers Sundraks came together under the banner of People United for Life Alliance. The alliance has presented the national government with a list of 32 demands that address the grave economic, political and social crises in the country. We found the workers, the students, the peasants, the educators, manifesting them on the street, the people are on the street demanding their right to vote, affordable water, decent employment, the high cost of life, the insumption of the family basic canal and freezing, also the mafia that exists with pharmaceuticals, nito cortizo, gobierno neoliberal y represor. Estamos en contra de este gobierno y vamos a seguir luchando firme en la calle hasta el triunfo final porque no vamos a soltar la calle hasta que esto se resuelva. Despite heavy repression, the protests have seen broad participation from people across Panamanian society such as workers, fisherfolk, indigenous communities, students, educators and civilians. They have been organizing demonstrations, staging blockades and marching in major cities. After 10 days of protests, the government on July 11th finally agreed to negotiate with the representatives of the United People for Life Alliance in order to end the protests. Following the meeting, President Cortizo announced the price of fuel would be frozen at $3.95 per gallon and declared that he would take measures to stop the increase of prices of essential commodities. The measures were deemed insufficient by the People's Alliance. They rejected his offer and called on citizens to organize in large numbers and continue the struggle.
