Santo Domingo.- The Federation of Teachers’ Associations of the UASD (FAPROUASD) considered this Wednesday that the announced merger of the MESCYT and the MINERDwithout any prior study, and only with the interest of reducing public investment in this sector, is an attack on the right to education and quality, which is why the union condemned this “nonsense.”
Likewise, the federation joins the rejection of the tax reform through which “the government intends to impose a big package that will further impoverish the working people and the already battered middle class.”
«The government’s arguments to try to persuade the population to resign themselves to this assault on their precarious economy are the economic crisis and the fiscal deficit; However, this crisis has not been generated by the working masses, but by those who have served themselves with the big spoon from the State, squandering public assets with corruption and their privileges,” he said.
“We oppose a tax reform that follows the same regressive tax model, taxing those who earn the least more proportionally, while favoring the very rich,” said the president of FAPROUASD, Efraín Javier.
Efrain affirmed that the government and its technicians know very well where they have to go to increase income and resolve their crisis and fiscal deficit.
