Guillermo Ford
Guillermo Ford was a significant political figure in Panama during the late 1980s, serving as the vice president elected in 1989 amid a tumultuous political climate. A member of the opposition, he was violently attacked shortly after the elections, an incident that became symbolic of the brutal repression faced by those opposing Manuel Noriega's regime. Ford's involvement in the Cruzada Civilista helped galvanize support for democracy and transparency in the electoral process, contributing to the eventual downfall of the dictatorship.
