[News Boquete] Alert: Friday, December 20 Demonstration in Panama City


Alert: December 20 Demonstration in Panama City

 

December 20, 2024, marks the 35th anniversary of Operation Just Cause.  Historically on this date, demonstrations have occurred at various points throughout Panama City, including outside the U.S. Embassy in Clayton.  Although no demonstrations are currently expected to occur in the vicinity of the U.S. Embassy, a demonstration is planned at 9:00 AM at Parque Porras in the Bella Vista area of Panama City.  The Embassy will be closed on December 20, as it is an official Panamanian holiday.

  • Avoid demonstrations.
  • Monitor local media for updates.
  • Exercise caution when traveling and plan routes accordingly.
  • Contact local authorities (dial 911) for any immediate health or safety concerns.
