Panama: Protesters cause significant traffic disruptions in Panama City June 4

Members of the Union of Construction Workers of Panama (Sindicato Unico Nacional de Trabajadores de la Industria de la Construccion y Similares, SUNTRACS) are causing significant traffic disruptions in Panama City on June 4. Participants are disrupting traffic on Avenida Balboa, Calle 50, and streets in the Calidonia area of the city. The purpose of the action is to demand that the government reopen the activists' bank accounts.

Localized disruptions to businesses, public transport, and public services are likely in the area. Police will likely deploy to monitor the demonstrations and may move to disperse protesters, which could prompt confrontations. Protesters could block roads in other locations in the region on June 4.
