DIALOGUE: Awaiting presidential mea culpa
President Cortizo adopted a unilateral action that is probably considered a gesture of good faith in the negotiation with the protest groups: repeal the tax incentive laws for tourism investments, something that should not even have been discussed in the Assembly, much less approved and be sanctioned Much could have been avoided if these monstrosities had not been sanctioned, because, without a doubt, this caused outrage, especially when the whole world is suffering from this crisis and State revenues have fallen. But, on the other hand, the president, unaware that there are people calling for the resignation of his minister advisers, showed up flanked by them at his press conference, sending a defiant and wrong message. His words to the nation yesterday were also stripped of self-criticism. There are many errors to recognize mea culpa; This must be addressed in the dialogue, including the resignation or dismissal of the rector of Unachi and the return of the $9 million for salary increases, the anti-corruption laws – which are urgent – and the containment of government spending. He doesn’t talk to us about the debt, about the plan to generate jobs or about education or health. This dialogue is just beginning and the list of topics is overflowing. – LA PRENSA, Jul. 22.
