Presuntas amenazas de desalojos forzosos en el contexto de diversos
proyectos de desarrollo urbano y turístico en la Isla Pedro González, y en las
Comunidades Santa Clara y Pacora de la Provincia de Coclé. Según las
informaciones recibidas, en la Isla Pedro González, los habitantes ya habrían
sido desalojados de sus tierras, a pesar de luchas contra dicha medida durante
cuatro años, y podrían ser desalojados de sus viviendas. En las comunidades
Santa Clara y Pacora, alrededor de treinta y siete familias estarían en riesgo de
sufrir desalojos forzosos como resultado de acciones judiciales por parte de
particulares que alegan tener la propiedad de los predios en los que habitan, a
pesar de que los territorios tendrían restricciones constitucionales que
impedirían su enajenación. Aparente intervención policial, con uso de gas
lacrimógeno y balas de salva, habría tenido lugar en respuesta a las protestas
de los residentes de las comunidades.
