Marcel Salamín

Marcel Salamín was a Venezuelan diplomat who served as the ambassador to Panama during a critical period in the late 1980s when political tensions escalated in Venezuela due to allegations of narcotrafficking involving high-ranking officials. He played a significant role in providing asylum to politicians and activists persecuted for their anti-narcotics stances, including the notable case of a parliamentarian who faced military and judicial reprisals after exposing corruption linked to drug cartels.
