“The first enemy of our democracy is corruption,” Olua announced before a crowd gathering in the Metropolitan Cathedral. He stressed that Panama is living in moments of deep institutional confusion, as the authority stopped serving people to become a spoil in the service of personal interests. “We deserve more,” he said. ” The believers have called for not only to live the holy week as religious habits, but as an opportunity to renew commitment to justice, truth and solidarity. “It is not enough to get rid of palm packages on Sunday,” he said. “You have to walk with Jesus to the cross and beyond, to the resurrection.”
A modest entry disturbs power
With a pastoral but firm tone, Archbishop Jesus was presented as a humble and peaceful leader, whose entrance to Jerusalem remains a strong image of simplicity and service against the positions of authoritarian power that still exists. He criticized those who understand leadership as an absolute field, recalling that the authentic force exercises it through service, not persecution.
ULLOA also referred to the wide -ranging frustration of citizenship, which realizes the battle against corruption as a lost cause. However, he insisted that this betrayal could not become a resignation: “The Panamanian people are not corrupt by nature. They are brave, workers, solidarity. For this reason, it hurts more to know what a few shower at the expense of hope in many.”
