Today, Cameron Bell (MPP Class of 2015) hosted Panamarian MP and fellow Blavatnik School alumnus Edison Broce (MPP Class of 2015) at the Middle East Studies Centre of the American University in Cairo (AUC). Cameron facilitated a lecture given by Edison, entitled "Perspectives on The Panama Papers: Political and Economic Consequences for the region."
Dr. Robert Mason, Director of the Middle East Studies Center, School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the AUC, issued the following statement:
Edison Broce gave an insightful and dynamic presentation on the Panama Papers at the Middle East Studies Center at the American University in Cairo today. His comments were well received by the diverse academic audience in attendance and enriched our understanding of the tax systems, policies, and havens in operation around the world.
Edison's comments, especially concerning what it takes to go from student activist to the youngest member of parliament in Panama in 2014 were an inspiration for all of us, and we look forward to hearing more about his progressive activities and policy proposals in future.
