Boxing , football , baseball , salsa music and carnivals together and overflowing passions of Panamanians. Every time a Panamanian boxer goes into the ring to contest a world championship or the national teams of baseball and football competing in a tournament or in a regional qualifying , the population of Panama is moving at the same rate as when you go to jubilant pre- Christian Lent or throughout the year, without fatigue , enjoy the salsa in any nook or corner of his thin geography carnivals.
But one thing that unites them beyond factions and political , partisan , ideological, cultural or sporting and economic and social divisions passions , is the Panama Canal . And the slogan to face the Grupo Unidos por el Canal ( GUPC ) , the consortium led by the Spanish Sacyr Vallehermoso and Impregilo Italian building the main part of the expansion of the road and the 5th of this month paralyzed by deep and work prolonged financial differences with state Panama Canal Authority (ACP ) , seems to be ... " all linked by the Canal ."
"Control Channel has been the focal point of the strengthening of the Panamanian nationality. Was a historic struggle , "said Carlos González de la Lastra , vice president of the opposition Popular Party ( PP) of Panama .
Interviewed by telephone by El País, González explained that "the Canal to the Panamanian territory split and was part of the military policy of the United States ( in the twentieth century). Panamanians could never enjoy the sea route to the ports because we lost when Americans were in charge of the Canal , which was always under the Ministry of Defense of the United States. And the Panamanian Canal brings together completely . "
United States built the Canal from 1904 to 1914 and assumed perpetual control of the waterway and a parallel strip between the Pacific and Atlantic which was transformed into a military enclave and a school of Latin American and Caribbean dictators. Panama's fight to restore those territories sovereignty caused deaths and injuries in the last century , so now resurgent nationalist memories.
"With our Channel not playing ! " Proclaimed the last Thursday La Llorona , a political column for the newspaper La Estrella, one of the leaders of Panama . The announcement that the extension works were suspended to worsen the conflict between the two parties made "viral on social networks supporting the Panama Canal administration ," he added .
The text said that a " national unity" where " all the presidential candidates " have supported the ACP , which rejected a charge of 1,600 million GUPC additional costs in the works, with the threat and stop the work accomplished if your claim is not covered .
" There is a famous phrase that Torrijos in Panama and it is said that ' religion is the Canal that connects the Panamanians ' . It is so. We are very proud of our Canal, the way we've managed better than U.S. ship transits more , much more income and fewer accidents , "said Milton Henriquez, president of the PP, in another interview with this newspaper . " We support it 100% Canal Authority in its demand that the contract be fulfilled " with the builder said.
Omar Torrijos of Panama was a vital political and military figure in the canal history , first as sergeant whistle and truncheon , then as a coup and eventually as a brigadier general and state power. He died in 1981 in a mysterious plane crash . Torrijos led a coup in 1968 and launched into the international scene with a slogan to amend the treaties with the United States " do not want to get into the story , I want to enter the Canal ."
After strenuous negotiations, Torrijos and the then U.S. president , Jimmy Carter , in 1977 they signed treaties that were ratified one year later and in force since 1979. By setting a timetable for the gradual delivery of land adjacent to Panama , Panamanians assumed at noon December 31, 1999 the full sovereignty and administration of the Canal and surrounding areas.
The cessation of work by the lawsuit with GUPC is the most important challenge faced by the Canal since 1999 , whose locks centuries old and still operating normally, away from areas where the route extends . "The reason is with us and I think Canal Authority must not negotiate ... or with Spanish or Italian ... they have to pay a fee not know if criminal or civil " to suspend the work , said Sergio Galvez, president of the National Assembly ( unicameral Congress) and the ruling Democratic Change party .
Consolidated as a strategic international trade - route passes by each year 5% of world shipping , which will be modernized with the expansion , the Canal , as La Llorona , " is the nice girl who has multiple suitors " beyond Spanish and Italian . And the Panamanians are rallying around the Canal, in a country in which one of its main assets is its geographical position.
