The Panama City Mayor's Office announced this month's eviction of informal vendors operating near metro stations, a move that will significantly impact thousands of workers relying on these public spaces for their livelihood. This crackdown comes amid growing concerns about worsening economic conditions for the country's informal sector. The decision threatens to deepen Panama's subsistence crisis, as many vendors depend on daily earnings from these locations to support their families. Authorities claim the measure aims to restore order in public areas, while critics argue it fails to address the root causes of informal employment.
