This article is purely political advertisement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.129.117 (talk) 03:52, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

His positions in private enterprise
The Univision website that's a cited source here states (and it is parroting Martinelli's campaign website while doing so):


 * Actualmente es presidente de la Importadora Ricamar, de la cadena local de Supermercados 99, de la Junta Directiva de la Central Azucarera La Victoria, de la empresa ERA y de la fábrica de plásticos Plastigol.

Can a knowledgeable person weed out the fluff and state in the article which of these are the important ones? How is it that he runs 5 companies? Article currently also says he's chairman of the board of Super 99, not the president. Tempshill (talk) 03:12, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Economic claims
I removed the sentence "Since taking office in 2009, Ricardo Martinelli and his Administration have initiated a series of economic reforms and major infrastructure investments that have turned the economy into a regional leader, attracted major foreign direct investment, improved Panama’s fiscal position, and laid the groundwork for continued long-term growth.", since it didn't appear supported by the given source. S&P speaks well of Panama's financial position, but doesn't give any credit to Martinelli; rather, it speaks of Panama's growth as a continuing trend. -- Khazar2 (talk) 19:38, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Mr.Presidente siga con su progama de gobierno que lo esta haciendo muy bien, el problema con las personas que no tienen vision de na mejor vida con una mente tan Enana, que no pueden pensar mas haya de sus narises, Nuestro pais tiene una posicion muy invidiable en comparacion con otros paises Latinos. Gracias a su gestion de Gobierno en estos anos nuestro pais a crecido tanto Economica mente Tecnologicamente y Internacional, que nos sentimos orgullozos de su administracion.Con respecto a otros partidos politicos, que siempre han sido una desonrra para nuestra patria se han robado el dinero pero no han hecho nada. Y usted en muy poco tiempo ha hecho tanto que hablen lo que hablen ahi estan las obras. En el mundo hay dos clases de personas los que se atrven hacer algo bueno por nuestros paises y los que solo se pasan criticando, pero no aportan nada a la Patria esos son los perdedores. Dios lo siga Bendiciendo Mr. Presidente y siga adelante que en mi tiene un seguidos. Desde el Canada tengo 26,anos de vivir aqui tuve que salir en el tiempo de la Pina, pero eso no tiene Importancia en este momento hay que siguir adelante. Con todo mi respeto tiene mi total apoyo.Hay que vivir en paises desarrollados para ver la diferencia y como se puede desarrollar nuestro pais como usted lo esta haciendo. Hasta pronto. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.119.8.73 (talk) 11:51, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Needs updating
Where has the court case got to ?

And I just saw on TV in Panama an ad for him as "alcalde" (mayor). -- Beardo (talk) 21:38, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Article needs to talk about his scandals
He is a convicted criminal now as his last appeal to reverse his 128 month prison sentence has been denied. Also the article mixes foreign reliable sources with questionable sources which seems to support a favorable view of him. His article in Spanish is more critical of him and I'm reluctant to edit this article because I am not neutral about this Pancho507 (talk) 02:48, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
