Panama’s new president, Jose Raul Mulino, was inaugurated on Monday with a focus on reactivating the economy and combatting illegal immigration. Mulino, a diplomat and businessman, aims to bring back the economic growth experienced during the administration of former President Ricardo Martinelli, who was disqualified from running due to a money laundering conviction.
In his inaugural address, Mulino emphasized the importance of ensuring a prosperous future for Panama by leaving a strong economy for future generations to build upon. He declared his commitment to cracking down on illegal immigration, particularly through the country’s borders.
Mulino expressed his determination to seek assistance from other countries, notably the United States, in addressing the issue of irregular migration. During his campaign, he promised to close the Darien Gap, a dangerous jungle region between Colombia and Panama that serves as a transit route for many migrants heading to the United States.
The new president’s focus on economic growth and immigration control signals his administration’s priorities as Panama looks to advance under his leadership.
