President Luis Guillermo Solís started a struggle from the Presidential House so that the Legislative Assembly opens the discussion for the approval of new taxes for the country.
Turning the sales tax on the Value Added Tax and reforming the Income Tax are projects that do not have legislator’s support.
Even so, Solís uses every opportunity in front of a microphone to reiterate that the country needs a fiscal reform and to obtain fresh revenues to continue doing public works in the communities.
As he did in Limón, Zona Sur, Heredia and every place he goes on tour, the president talked about it in the community of Pozo de Agua in Nicoya, where he had a meeting with the community.
The anguish we have is that we cannot make chocolate without cocoa and that if we cannot find a quick solution to the problem of the fiscal deficit, that is, to the revenue of the State, to meet the needs of the communities, those challenges will accumulate and become bigger,”
said the president.
In the meeting with the community, the president maintained his position that at present there is no money to guarantee the projects and that they cannot ask for loans because the country’s debt is already too great.
