| description | This article analyzes the emergence of new political agendas as a result of the social mobilization that took place in Panama during the pandemic and how these were finally translated into a new institution for the negotiation of public policies – The Single Roundtable for Dialogue (Mesa Única de Diálogo). Analytical narratives are used based on secondary sources. To this end, the literature and various indicators were examined and a newspaper search was conducted on the phenomenon studied. The hypothesis is that, although there have been previous protests in the Panamanian nation, there is a before and an after in relation to the one that occurred in July, 2022, in terms of the meaning and scope of the demands of mobilized actors. It was a moment of political irruption, in which those who do not usually have a voice demonstrated that they have one. This text characterizes the conditions of public policies in the Panamanian political system; describes the social and economic effects of COVID-19; and describes the process of political irruption and emergence of new agendas during the mobilization. The conclusions illustrate how the aforementioned protests constituted an interruption of the previous equilibrium of the country, where the notion of the public had been distorted and needed to be reformulated. |

En este artículo se analiza la emergencia de nuevas agendas políticas producto de la movilización social ocurrida en Panamá durante la pandemia y cómo estas se tradujeron, finalmente, en una nueva institución para las negociaciones de las políticas públicas: la Mesa Única de Diálogo. Se emplean las narrativas analíticas basadas en fuentes secundarias; para ello se revisó la literatura y distintos indicadores y se realizó una búsqueda hemerográfica sobre el fenómeno estudiado. Como hipótesis se plantea que, si bien han ocurrido protestas previas en la nación panameña, existe un antes y un después en relación con la ocurrida durante julio de 2022 en términos del sentido y el alcance de las reivindicaciones de los actores movilizados: se trata de un momento de irrupción de lo político, en el cual quienes no suelen tener voz se manifiestan por tenerla. En el texto se caracterizan las condiciones en que se han dado las políticas públicas en el sistema político panameño, se describen los efectos sociales y económicos de la covid-19, así como el proceso de irrupción de lo político y la emergencia de nuevas agendas durante las movilizaciones. En las conclusiones se ilustra cómo las mencionadas protestas constituyen una interrupción de los equilibrios previos de un país, donde la noción de lo público ha estado deformada y requiere ser replanteada. Este artigo analisa o surgimento de novas agendas políticas como resultado da mobilização social ocorrida no Panamá durante a pandemia e como elas finalmente se traduziram em uma nova instituição para negociações de políticas públicas: a Mesa Única de Diálogo. Utilizam-se narrativas analíticas baseadas em fontes secundárias, e, para isso, revisou-se a literatura e diferentes indicadores, além da realização de uma pesquisa em jornais sobre o fenômeno estudado. Como hipótese, propõe-se que, embora tenham ocorrido protestos anteriores na nação panamenha, há um antes e um depois em relação ao ocorrido em julho de 2022 em termos de significado e alcance das demandas dos atores mobilizados: é um momento de irrupção do político, em que aqueles que não costumam ter voz se manifestam por tê-la. O texto caracteriza as condições em que ocorreram as políticas públicas no sistema político panamenho, descreve os efeitos sociais e econômicos da covid-19, bem como o processo de irrupção do político e o surgimento de novas agendas durante as mobilizações. As conclusões ilustram como os referidos protestos constituem uma interrupção dos equilíbrios anteriores de um país, onde a noção do público foi deformada e precisa ser repensada.
