Panama’s asking the Human Rights Interamerican Comission to revoke their decision.
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ statement informs that Panama can’t comply with their requirements since their taking to consideration information that’s more than a year old.

In the info I’ve seen, the water reservoir of the project will occupy very little surface … Less than 1% of the Palo Seco rainforest.

The Panamanian state is respectful of the human rights of all the residents of our national territory, and is also a state permanently concerned with the full compliance with its international commitments in this matter, which have been voluntarily acquired.

This project is of national importance and I don’t see the CBD talking about that.

I think this a project that will bring good energy at a low cost and Panama needs that. We need to get both sides of the story here.

I think we deserve more information on this subject. Thing aren’t what we are told.
