Protests continue against mining contract in Panama

epaselect epa10842956 Demonstrators clash with police during a new day of protests to reject a new mining contract in the country, in Panama City, Panama, 05 September 2023. Hundreds of protesters protested again this 05 September in Panama against a controversial contract law with the Canadian mining company First Quantum Minerals (FQM) and asked the Government of Laurentino Cortizo, which they accuse of 'selling the country', to stop the debate and close that large copper mine, the largest in Central America. The protesters allege that the mine's economic contribution under the new contract will not compensate for the damage to Panama's environment. EPA/Bienvenido Velasco EPA-EFE/Bienvenido Velasco
