Omar Torrijos Pauzner says he is ready to run for the Panamanian presidency next term.

“I cannot remain a mere spectator,” Torrijos Pauzner said on RPC Radio, reacting to Panama’s political situation. ”That which does not transform, perishes…Power is not eternal.  Power is for serving the people.”

Torrijos Pauzner is a lawyer by training. His father, General Omar Torrijos founded the People’s Democratic Revolutionary Party, and his half-brother, Martin Torrijos Espino, was President of Panama during the 2004 to 2009 term.

Also already preparing for the party’s nomination are Samuel Lewis Navarro, Laurentino Cortizo, Anel Flores, Javier Acha, Balbina Herrera and Juan Carlos Navarro, La Prensa reports.
