 Panama's Social Organizations to Protest
 PANAMA - Social organizations of Panama are setting up protests on Monday for better salaries and against the high cost of living.

Delegates of the coordinating group to Fight for Respect to Life and Dignity of the People are demanding an answer to the several proposals presented to Parliament less than 15 days ago.

The bills included a general salary increase and a family basket price and products control, plus the end of public services privatization like healthcare, education, water supply, environmental use areas, and public transport.

The decision was made to go on a 48-hour general strike but the date is yet to be determined.
