Panama: Good news and bad news about the new Prez

It was a normal kind of LatAm campaign
(Martinelli centre...DUH)

Ricardo Martinelli, for the right-leaning "Democratic Change" party (original, huh?) has tonight been elected as the new President of Panama with around 60% of the popular vote.

The Good News
He's already a multimillionaire so he won't feel the need to line his own pockets.

The Bad News
Dunno yet, but it'll come....it'll come.

Anyway, congrats to the rich dude and I hope he looks after his country. The job starts July 1st. Mojitos served.
