The Panamanian Supreme Court meets to decide who will be chief of state in a two president system after President Robles was impeached and removed by the National Assembly. The ruling party backs Robles while opponents fear violence may erupt if the decision is rejected. The National Guard has sealed the Assembly as rioting last week left two dead and several injured.
