Those who live in Boquete know about our long standing tradition – The Tuesday Morning Meeting ( at the BCP theater space) in Boquete. Every week we cover topics of interest to those living in Panama. Last week we had Rodrigo Marciaq – Local Boqueteno ,speaking about the new and proposed changes to Panama’s Mining Laws and the effect on Panama of the world’s skyrocketing food prices.
Rodrigo Marciacq is a lifelong Boqueteno and today truly one of the First Citizens of Chiriqui. Tapped for a Minister of Agriculture position in the new Martinelli administration, he chose instead to remain in Boquete and continue development of his large scale organic produce project. Well known in the Panamanian social justice movement, Rodrigo has been active in negotiations regarding the implementation of the new Panama mining act.
