Protesters have taken to the streets for more than a week in Panama, as people are angry that fuel prices have nearly doubled and inflation, which it hasn't experienced for years, the Crux website reports today (July 15, 2022).
In an attempt to avoid an escalation to the crisis, the government has called on the Catholic Church to mediate a dialogue.
A country of four million people, 70 percent of whom are Catholic, Panama has historically maintained a fairly stable service-based economy that uses the U.S. dollar as its official currency.
