...instruments of ratification of the Panama Canal treaties with General Torrijos. The city was tense and under tight security as Carter arrived. Sentiment against the treaties among anti-Torrijos Panamanians had been increased early in the week by the dramatic return from exile in Miami of former Panamanian President Arnulfo Arias, a fervid opponent of the pacts. Two nights before Carter's arrival, students who opposed the treaties had fought for several hours with treaty supporters at the University of Panama. Two people were killed and 15 injured before national guardsmen finally restored order...
...negotiations are nevertheless a political booby trap for both sides. The canal may yet become an issue in the U.S. presidential campaign. Ronald Reagan met several months ago in Boca Raton, Fla., with former Panamanian President Arnulfo Arias, whom Torrijos ousted in 1968. Earlier Reagan had accused the Administration of "giving up the defense of the hemisphere on the installment plan." As for Arias, he reportedly promised a softer Panamanian stand if he returned to power. Torrijos seems to accept the Ford Administration's efforts to keep negotiations low-key until after the November elections...
There had been jealousy in Torrijos' four-man junta ever since the coup of October 1968, which ousted President Arnulfo Arias for the third time in his remarkable political career-this time after only eleven days in office. When one junta member, Colonel Boris Martinez, began to get overambitious, Torrijos had him handcuffed, gagged, and tossed aboard a plane to Florida, where he now works as a filling station attendant. Evidently fearing similar treatment, Silvera and Sanjur decided to move first. With Torrijos out of town, they summoned the puppet provisional President, Colonel José Pinilla, and his Vice...
Three times in the past three decades, Panamanian Politician Arnulfo Arias has been elected President of his small (pop. 1.3 million) country. Twice, in 1941 and 1951, he was thrown out of power. Both times he was ousted by Panama's National Guard, the country's only military force, which took exception to his highhanded policies and acted jointly with Arias' political enemies. The same thing happened again last week. Only eleven days after his inauguration for his latest term, the National Guard once more ousted Arias, who fled to safety in the U.S.-controlled Canal Zone...
...full 18 days after Panamanians had gone to the polls to choose a new President, Opposition Candidate Arnulfo Arias, 67, was last week finally declared the winner. The government insisted that the long count was necessary in order to ensure a fair tabulation of the votes and give election-day passions in the volatile nation a chance to cool down. Arias supporters charged that President Marco Aurelio Robles was really only buying time so that the ballot boxes could be stuffed in favor of his government candidate, former Finance Minister David Samudio...
