The presence of deputies closely linked to the Executive Branch José Luis "Popi" Varela, Adolfo Valderrama and Jorge Alberto Rosas (Panameñistas) in the legislative Credentials Committee when complaints were studied against a judge of the Supreme Court (CSJ) Jose Ayu Prado, caused controversy.

The secretary general of the Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD), Carlos Perez Herrera wrote in his Twitter account: "Without going into detail if there were not filing complaints against Ayu Prado, which made the staff of the Panameñistas in the commission if They did not vote ".

Meanwhile, panameñista Jorge Gamboa Arosemena wrote that they were "rattling".

Meanwhile, "Popi Varela justified the decision of the commission on the grounds that when complaints are filed are studied and noted that the complainant had committed irregularities.
