As Panama commemorated those who protested the American occupation 60 years ago, tensions resurfaced after Trump’s claims about the Panama Canal stirred national memories of sovereignty struggles.
'My brother did not die for nothing,' said Carlos E. Bonilla Caco, recalling the deadly 1964 demonstrations against U.S. control, highlighting the enduring impact on Panama's national identity.
President Jose Raul Mulino asserted, 'The canal is and will continue to be Panamanian,' underscoring the country's firm stance on sovereignty amid recent provocative statements.
The 1964 events remain a haunting memory for Panama, now amplified by modern political rhetoric, reflecting the ongoing significance of national pride and territorial integrity.
