By DON WINNER for Panama-Guide.com - Good news - Panama's President Martin Torrijos is back from vacation. Why should you care? Well, I don't know. The three ex-presidents (Endara, Balladares, and Moscoso) have all lined up to criticize Torrijos for taking time off (a whole week) to spend with his wife and small children. Opposition politician Ricardo Martinelli asked how Torrijos could see fit to leave the country while "in the midst of the diethylene glycol crisis." Personally, I think this whole issue is absurd. Now of course, as soon as Torrijos left on vacation the SPI guards who are supposed to protect his house went "old school PRD" on a bunch of sick women in front of the Presidential Palace, and Torrijos was forced to pull some damage control from long distance. Balbina Herrera came to the front (again) to take the slings and arrows for the vacationing Torrijos. But whatever, Torrijos is back behind the desk, and pushing the Labor Ministry to get something moving on the construction safety and security issue.
