Tuesday, April 2, 2013


The government of Panama is carrying out its plans to build the Changuinola II hydroelectric plant, in Bocas del Toro, while the indigenous community in that area is planning to protest against it.

Some weeks ago, Energy minster Vicente Prescott said there were already important developments in the project.
