René Pardo

René Pardo is a Panamanian lawyer and public policy expert known for his critical analyses of governmental structures and efficiency. In a recent opinion article published in La Prensa, he discussed the potential for reducing the size of the Panamanian state without compromising its efficiency, arguing that the country's extensive governmental framework contributes to bureaucracy and increased costs. Pardo advocates for merging or eliminating various state institutions to streamline operations, reduce public expenditure, and combat corruption, thereby enhancing the effective use of taxpayer resources.
