While I can understand the kneejerk reaction to a bunch of foreign folks coming and building up land, especially as it sounds like there was little local stakeholder involvement, I think this presents a seriously one-sided view of the project. I personally always thought the idea of Prospera was interesting if not particularly economically compelling (I'm much more of a fan of building charter cities more fore locals and really focusing on fulfilling their needs like what the folks at Talent City Nigeria are doing) and would hate for it to be brought down or damaged to a point where it hurts the whole movement and of course, the economic opportunities that FDI can bring to locals. All that said, I think that this is relatively old as it refers to the President as Juan Orlando Hernandez who was replaced in late 2021 during the latest presidential election.
