Voters in Panama have overwhelmingly approved an ambitious project to expand the country's famous shipping canal.
In a nationwide referendum, people voted by a margin of four to one to back the $5.2bn plan, which involves building a new channel and new locks.

Earlier this month Nicaragua started to ponder on an alternative :

Nicaragua has announced plans to build a waterway linking the Pacific and Atlantic that would carry bigger ships than the existing Panama Canal.

Maybe Hugo would invest in the Nicaraguan one ?
