Panamanian mayor lies and makes unethical accusation taking advantage of a tragedy

The AirTag did not appear in Monagas because the aid had been stolen. He was with a family that survived the earthquake that lost their home and moved temporarily to Maturín to seek shelter at the home of relatives, taking with him the food and hygiene products he received.

That is why it is outrageous that the mayor of Panama, Mayer Mizrachi, intended to turn the location of a device into a media accusation, without first verifying the human reality behind that signal. A tragedy cannot be used to manufacture suspicion, fuel headlines, or subject affected families to public trial.

And the question about their ethics is inevitable. His father, Aaron Mizrachi, was investigated in Panama in the SAP case, related to bribery and influence peddling in the hiring of a computer program for the Social Security Fund for more than 14 million dollars. The Thirteenth Criminal Court went so far as to validate the investigation, preventive detention and the arrest warrant requested in that file. All of this is documented and verifiable on Panamanian news portals.

So it is legitimate to question the morals of those who, with such a close judicial record of this gravity, feel empowered to launch accusations without conclusive evidence against a people that is going through a tragedy.

Transparency is not putting on a show with an AirTag or turning the pain of an injured family into political ammunition. Transparency requires verifying, questioning and respecting the dignity of victims. And those who seek to accuse from suspicion should, first of all, honestly review the ethical weight of the background that surrounds them. Because in the end, those who live seeing thieves everywhere may be judging from their own condition.
