The deaths come as street protests by thousands of Panamanians during the past weeks over a new mining contract signed with Canadian #mining firm First Quantum Minerals (FM.TO) spilled into wider discontent with the #government.

The atmosphere is now so heated that radical right-wingers are killing environmental activists.

How a #Copper #Mine Prompted Mass #Protests in #Panama

Source: https://www.democracynow.org/2023/10/27/headlines/major_protests_in_panama_take_aim_at_canadian_copper_mine

In Panama, nationwide Indigenous-led protests and blockades intensified this week, demanding the government reverse its approval of a 20-year contract for a foreign-owned open-pit copper mine. #Police fired tear gas at demonstrators, who say the mine will poison fresh water sources. They also cited corruption allegations against lawmakers. Dozens have been arrested. Opponents say the new contract for the Cobre Panamá mine was fast-tracked with little public input or transparency. The mine is the largest in Central America. It’s owned by Canada’s First Quantum Minerals.

Long story short: Who has the power in a #democracy? The people who want to protect nature and the country or the president who is selling the copper to fill his own pockets?

INTERNATIONAL OPERATION AGAINST CHILD PORNOGRAPHY: Argentine police have arrested 12 people and seized a large amount of material as part of an international operation against the sexual exploitation of children, according to local authorities. The arrests were made in the Argentine capital and the province of Buenos Aires, where around 700 electronic storage devices were also seized.

According to the Public Ministry of Buenos Aires, these actions are part of the operation 'Allies for Childhood,' led by #Argentina and simultaneously implemented in the #UnitedStates, #Brazil, #Chile, #Ecuador, #Panama, #Paraguay, and #PuertoRico.

"Five people were arrested in Chile, one in Ecuador, and the results from the other involved countries are still awaited," the #Argentine capital's Public Ministry reported.

The investigation was made possible through the use of the investigation system provided by the American platform #Icaccops, used to track the trafficking of child sexual exploitation material on the #internet.

Members of the Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), a U.S. NGO dedicated to combating child trafficking and exploitation, founded by Tim Ballard, a former U.S. Homeland Security special agent portrayed by Jim Caviezel in the movie "Sound of Freedom" (2023), were present at the Public Ministry's monitoring center in Buenos Aires on Monday.

Welcome to #timeBomb! In today's episode, we're shifting our attention to another part of the world dealing with a water problem that could affect prices in the United States. The #Panama #Canal is a big deal for the U.S. – more than 40 percent of the stuff we buy travels through it. But here's the issue: the folks in charge of the canal are making some changes. They're allowing fewer ships to go through each day, and they're also telling the really huge ships to lose some weight before they can pass through the canal's locks
