Ciudad de Panamá. El presidente electo de Panamá, Laurentino Cortizo, dijo querer revisar los tratados de libre comercio con Estados Unidos y Centroamérica, y que hará respetar el nombre de su país manchado por estar en listas de paraísos fiscales.

Cortizo, postulado por el Partido Revolucionario Democrático (PRD), se impuso el domingo al derechista Rómulo Roux por un estrecho margen, en las sextas elecciones generales tras la invasión estadounidense de 1989, que puso fin a la dictadura de Manuel Antonio Noriega (1983-1989).
