There is no parent panel in Midnight Commander.

M-o is close, but not exactly that.  From man mc:

M-o, If the other panel is a listing panel and you are standing on a
directory in the current panel, then the other panel contents are set to
the contents of the currently selected directory (like Emacs' dired C-o
key) otherwise the other panel contents are set to the parent dir of the
current dir.
