In the Carlincatura today October 29Carlos Tovar ironizes how the Congress violates the constitutional limits to intervene in the tax box. In the image, congressmen are seen entering with wheelbarrows of money under the argument of an “authentic interpretation”, a clear allusion to the parliamentary practice of passing laws that generate public spending despite the Article 79 restriction of the Constitution.
The cartoon is published after the report of the Fiscal Councilwhich revealed that this Parliament approved 101 regulations with estimated damage of more than S/35,000 million for the Public Treasury. Despite warnings from Ministry of Economythese initiatives had the endorsement of the Governmentwhich, according to the cartoonist, demonstrates political complicity in the irresponsible use of state resources.
