Speech for the Omar Torrijos Foundation
by General Manuel Antonio Noriega
January 17, 1989
Prologue by Captain Severino Mejia, COC Chief
The Commander's Operations Center (COC) collects the statement Political-Doctrinal Speech by Commander Noriega, given at the Omar Foundation Dinner on January 17, 1989, to be disseminated to an audience that believes in a Panama free of all foreign ties; that believes that we can define our destiny by ourselves without a foreign embassy having to dictate to us guidelines for conduct; that believes in a Democracy, but not for a few, but for the majority of our people who have had to make their share of sacrifice in the face of the aggression of the barbarians from the north. We are sure that what is expressed here by our Commander will be valid, in the same proportion that each one of us contributes his grain of sand to achieve a Panama as our people want: Free, Sovereign and at Peace for Economic Progress.
