As is his custom, the President of the Republic Luis Lacalle Pou published on his Twitter account a photo of what would be the manuscript of his speech for today in Parliament.
With the title “A country on the move”, Lacalle Pou highlights in his publication that “for the third time I will render accounts on behalf of the government and announce the steps to follow. We’re on the right track and there’s a lot to do.”
There are many expectations regarding the announcements about the reductions in the IRPF and the IASS, decisions that motivated criticism from analysts, economists and the political opposition.
In this regard, on Tuesday in Soriano, the president reacted by stating that “the world is upside down”, adding that “it is the first time in history that I have seen that there are people who complain that taxes are being lowered. They complain about lowering taxes that they themselves created. Maybe that’s where the hand comes from. Regarding the opinions of economists, some independent, others not, they must always be respected and are welcome. I absolutely do not share them at all. Many said that it was impossible to carry out the program of the coalition government if we did not raise taxes.

Convened by various groups of the National Party, the mobilization, according to the weekly Búsqueda, has the tacit support of the Presidency. A giant screen will be placed outside so that arriving militants can follow the president’s speech.
