Panama City protests against resolution restricting access to information

Panama City, Aug 24 (EFE), .-Civil society groups protested peacefully on Tuesday near the headquarters of the government of Panama against an official resolution that restricts access to the minutes of the Cabinet Council (Council of Ministers) for a period of 10 years.

"We are here demanding access to the information that we as citizens deserve. We as citizens must monitor the work done by our leaders and that is why the information cannot be hidden," Irving Batista, secretary general of the Citizen Action Movement, told EFE.
