Taxes, the other evil of producers

We reiterate once again that, in the face of this climate emergency, these advances are eliminated which, moreover, are about a gain that, far from it, is forecast as a great ‘loss’”.
And they add that for this reason they request that “special debt regulation plans be implemented” and that “the State urges greater speed so that we can have predictability to produce in a country that needs us.”
