“We cannot elect those who confuse the Nation's budget with that of their own pocket,” said former president Martin Torrijos on Friday after being nominated as a presidential candidate by the Political Committee of the opposition Popular Party (PP).
“The homeland demands more from of us. Demand for our capacity and work. He demands that we correct the present and ensure a better future for everyone,”said Torrijos, who seeks to return to the Palacio de las Garzas, but away from his group, the Democratic Revolutionary Party, founded by his father Omar Torrijos.

"Panama does not want a government that looks for the next turn to steal, but a decent one, that renews trust, decency, and democracy", he said.
The former Panamanian president thanked the leadership and the entire PP membership for having nominated him, heading to the next elections in Panama, a nomination must be ratified in the National Congress on July 16.
Torrijos said that "he is not surprised by the responsible and courageous attitude of the PP" in nominating him as its presidential candidate, since in the five-year period 2004-2009 they went to government together, "they did well and showed that forces of different political persuasions, who seemed impossible to reconcile, came together with the common purpose of serving Panama and all its people.
Torrijos said that in order to achieve the changes he is going to propose, a complete reengineering of the state apparatus will be carried out through the decentralization of the government and the restoration of the method of participation of the communities so that they are protagonists of the solutions.“We will integrate the country with equity. This means that there will be no Panamanians isolated, incommunicado, or abandoned to their own luck.
