Of the invasion of the USA will take place and the end of Noriega\u2019s dictatorship, up to Trump.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
The United States invaded Panama in 1989 and the whole world had something to say. The opinions of that time reflected hasty judgements on the two most relevant news items: an occupied country and the fall of dictator Manuel Antonio Noriega, That former head of intelligence and reliable CIA collaborator who turned out to be smarter and more greedy than the Americans expected. The massive citizen protests against the dictatorship, followed by a bloody American invasion, represent the most painful, bloody and humiliating stage in the history of this nation. The Panamanians have not forgotten it, although they know it fragmented, remember isolated incidents or anecdotes. Time has left more questions than answers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The author of the book, Fernando Berguido, was president of the Panama Press Corporation, member of its board and director of the newspaper twice. He has been a member of the Truth Commission on the crimes of the military dictatorship and chairman of the Panamanian chapter of Transparency International.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fernando Berguido, Borja Echevarr\u00eda,<\/strong> deputy director of El Pa\u00eds,<\/em> and Juan Fern\u00e1ndez-Miranda, <\/strong>deputy director of El Confidencial will participate in the conversation. Free admission until capacity is full.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
