Panama’s President at U.N.: U.S.-Bound Migrants Leaving Trail of ‘Decomposing Corpses’ in My Country

Mulino, who took office in July, dedicated much of his address to the Darién Gap, a dangerous jungle trail that Panama shares with neighboring Colombia, used by hundreds of thousands of migrants in recent years to reach the United States. The Darién jungle is the only land bridge that connects South and Central America.

The Panamanian president declared that, as a result of the Darién migrant flow, the “new United States border” is in Panama. Mulino also proclaimed that, unlike previous administrations, he will use any international venue to demand a “shared effort” to stop illegal migration and fight organized crime that profits from migrants through human and drug trafficking.

“Today Panama faces a huge problem due to its strategic location: illegal immigration through the Darién jungle, which is being used as a key for hundreds of thousands of migrants who have been fleeing from serious economic, political and social problems in search of the so-called American dream,” Mulino said.

The Panamanian president stated that more than 500,000 migrants passed through the Darién Gap in 2023 and asserted that the migrant flow is led by “criminal organizations, based in neighboring countries, which receive cursed money to profit from the need and hope of thousands of human beings.”
