Panamanian Unions March Against Law 462 Panama City – On June 6th, 2025, various Panamanian unions staged a significant protest march against law 462. The demonstration began on Vía España and proceeded towards Plaza 5 de Mayo. The march involved a substantial number of participants, many carrying Panamanian flags, indicating widespread opposition to the legislation. "We are here to voice our strong disapproval of law 462," stated one union representative, whose name was withheld for safety reasons. "This law negatively impacts our livelihoods and the well-being of Panamanians." The march was largely peaceful, though tensions were palpable. The video footage provides a visual record of the event's scale and intensity. Law 462, recently passed by the Panamanian legislature, has generated considerable controversy. The specific details of the law and the reasons for union opposition require further investigation, but the video underscores the level of public concern. The march serves as a visible demonstration of the collective voice of Panamanian workers.
