He said that “no former president or vice-president can ask for political immunity for being a Parlacen’s member and therefore the rumors are unfounded”.

Lewis Navarro as well as Torrijos will become Parlacen’s members on July 1, after they leave office.

During a radio interview in RPC radio with the journalist Alvaro Alvarado, the first vice-president pointed out that Panama promoted changes to the Parlacen’s regulations in order to abolish the rule that gave political immunity to former heads of state and their vice-presidents.

Lewis Navarro said that he wishes to join Parlacen, because as Foreign Minister he has worked very hard for the integration of Central America.

Parlacen aims to unite the Central American countries creating an organization similar to the European Parliament.
