Gerardo González Vernaza (c. 1929 - October 21, 2006) is a Panamanian politician from Veraguas Province.〔 He served as Vice President of Panama and President of the National Assembly, serving in the latter post from 1997 to 1999. == Political career == From 1975 to 1978, González Vernaza was the Vice President of Panama under Demetrio B. Lakas. In 1979, he helped found the Democratic Revolutionary Party of military ruler Omar Torrijos.〔 In December 1991, serving as the president of the PRD, he vigorously criticized the administration of president Guillermo Endara, stating that "in 24 months, Endara has lost his political and moral authority, demonstrating his incapability to lead Panama." He also opposed Endara's ultimately successful measures to abolish Panama's armed forces. González Vernaza opposed the presence of US forces in Panama past the 1999 deadline for withdrawal set by the Torrijos-Carter Treaties for the handover of the Panama Canal. He campaigned in favor of a constitutional referendum that would have allowed President Ernesto Pérez Balladares, a fellow PRD member, to seek a second term in office, calling the measure's opponents "cockroaches and scorpions". In 2004, González Vernaza was elected as a Panamanian representative to the Central American Parliament.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gerardo González Vernaza」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
