	Mireya Moscoso - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mireya Elisa Moscoso Rodríguez de Arias (born July 1, 1940) was the President of Panama from 1999 to 2004, representing the Arnulfista Party.
		Moscoso's Executive Secretary filed a complaint with the police accusing her gardener of stealing thousands of dollars from her freezer.
		Moscoso raised eyebrows soon after her election in 1999, when she gave all 72 members of the Legislative Assembly expensive Cartier watches and earrings worth an estimated $146,000 just before the vote on the government-proposed budget package.

	Martín Torrijos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Torrijos ran as the PRD's candidate in the 1999 Panamanian presidential election, finishing in second place after Mireya Moscoso of the Arnulfista Party, whose husband had been deposed by Omar Torrijos in a 1968 coup d'état.
		Mireya Moscoso's government ended with an approval rate of about 15%, mostly because of corruption scandals and incompetence, on which Torrijos capitalized successfully with a marketing campaign that had three major slogans: less corruption, create more jobs and improve security.
		His administration has taken aim at specific projects, like the fiscal reform, the social security reform (these two already done) and now as announced on April 27, 2006 the megaproject dealing with the Panama Canal expansion, that will be taken to a national referendum as stated on the Constitution.

	President Mireya
		Mireya Moscoso's victory can be explained by the thorough rejection by the Panamanian electorate of continuismo, the continuation in power of the governing party represented by the Revolutionary Democratic Party (PRD) and its candidate Martín Torrijos.
		Mireya Moscoso achieved an impressive victory with 45 percent of the votes.
		Mireya's 45 percent of the votes cast give her a broad mandate to develop policies that benefit grassroots sectors, through economic policies that promote productivity and Panama's competitiveness in the global market.

	Mireya Moscoso Regarded the Worst Panamanian President (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Panama, Aug 30 (Prensa Latina) Panamanian President Mireya Moscoso ends her mandate regarded as the worst head of state in the last 15 years in this country, since surveys showed her great unpopularity (59.1 percent), according to a poll published in this capital Monday.
		This is the worst popular evaluation for a Panamanian president in the last 3 presidential mandates, according to the poll made from August 20 to 22 among 1,227 people interviewed by a firm called Dichter & Neira, and published by local newspaper La Prensa.
		Moscoso, 59, leader of Conservative Arnulfista Party, will present a report on her mandate Tuesday, in her last day as President of Panama, to be substituted in the power by Martin Torrijos (Revolutionary Democratic Party), the winner of the May 2 elections in this Central American country.

		Panamanian President Mireya Moscoso recalled her ambassador in Cuba on Monday because of ''offensive'' claims by Havana that she plans to pardon four imprisoned Cuban exiles who were convicted in connection with an alleged plot to kill President Fidel Castro.
		Moscoso told reporters Monday that Panama ''cannot be subjected to interference or threats by any foreign government.'' She added that ''these declarations are disrespectful and unacceptable to the dignity and sovereignty'' of her country.
		Moscoso said that while recalling Panama's ambassador did not mean an end to diplomatic or commercial relations with Cuba, it placed both in a delicate position.

	It was wrong for the US Senate to host Mireya Moscoso

		The election is of historic importance, not only because Moscoso will become Panama's first woman president when she is sworn in Sept. 1, but also because she will preside over the reversion to Panama of the Panama Canal and all remaining US military bases on December 31.
		Moscoso, 52, is the leader of the Partido Arnulfista (PA), named after her husband, the late Arnulfo Arias--three times elected president and three times deposed by a military coup.
		Moscoso ran a close second behind Ernesto Perez Balladares of the PRD in the 1994 presidential election.

	americas.org - Bad Piece of Fruit from Moscoso’s Panamanian Banana Republic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The failure of Moscoso’s flimsy explanation to pass even modest standards of scrutiny reeks of malfeasance and leaves little question that she has not been forthright with the Panamanian public or with the international community regarding her genuine motives and the dynamics behind her decision-making process regarding the pardons.
		Furthermore, Moscoso’s dubious decision to grant freedom to degenerate murderers begs the question of foreign involvement in the case and represents the grand finale to a morally bankrupt administration whose conduct further enlarged Panama’s unjustified fame as a “banana republic.”
		While not the damning evidence that Havana claims it to be, Moscoso’s recorded phone message to former U.S. ambassador to Panama, and prominent Cuban-American attorney, Simón Ferro, the same day she announced the pardons, does suggest that she and Ferro had previously discussed the issue.
