The Caja de Seguro Social (CSS), Panama's social security agency, issued a statement rejecting claims made by Ana Matilde G贸mez on X (formerly Twitter). G贸mez alleged that the CSS's Income Department had been instructed to grant tax amnesty to numerous delinquent businesses.
CSS's National Executive Director of Finance, C茅sar Herrera, described G贸mez's statement as irresponsible, criticizing her for spreading unsubstantiated rumors. The CSS affirmed its commitment to cooperating with any formal complaint supported by evidence and emphasized that unfounded social media posts damage public trust.
Ana Matilde G贸mez is a prominent figure in Panamanian politics, having served as Attorney General, a member of the National Assembly, and an independent presidential candidate in 2019.
