The article discusses various political controversies in Panama, primarily centered around a luncheon hosted by deputy JosĂ© RaĂșl Mulino. The meeting, attended by several deputies, sparked outrage and calls for expulsions within the Vamos party.
Janine Prado, head of the Vamos bancada, threatened expulsion of deputies who attended the luncheon, suggesting a motive of revenge. Meanwhile, Patsy Lee from the Partido Popular called those who voted for CSS reforms âvendidosâ (sellouts), without naming names.
