President Solís knows the non-approval of the tax reform during his administration is his responsibility as well as the previous group of legislators’, but he says the people are also responsible.
The president will leave the Presidential House without the approval of the new taxes to alleviate the fiscal situation in Costa Rica, despite his insistence in the last two years. The forces that do not want progress in the reform come from various sectors and from employers who do not want to pay more taxes.
The more it takes for the fiscal plan to be approved, the more Costa Ricans will have to pay,”
said the president, who asks the sectors that if they demand better conditions for the country, they must quit being reluctant to approve the new taxes.
