Zema says he is "fully in favor" of Lula's tax reform.
"Brazil is growing, and everyone wins," said the governor of Minas Gerais.
247 - The governor of Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema (Novo), said he is "totally in favor" of the tax reform that has been discussed by members of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's (PT) government. The text Zema refers to is a combination of two previously presented PECs (Proposed Constitutional Amendments) and should be voted on soon in the plenary session of the Chamber of Deputies.
“Receiving the tax reform proposal from our representatives here, Reginaldo Lopes and Nilton Cardoso, I want to emphasize that I am fully in favor. We need justice in the Brazilian tax system. We need to ensure that those who work and produce can dedicate their time and efforts to their work, and not try to understand this tax asylum that has been created in Brazil. We are together, representatives. Brazil grows, and everyone wins,” said Zema.
The statement was made in a video accompanied by federal deputies from the state, Reginaldo Lopes (PT) and Nilton Cardoso Jr. (MDB), during a meeting at the Minas Gerais Development Bank (BMDG).
Lopes believes that if the proposal continues to be viewed favorably by the opposition, there is a greater chance that it will not encounter problems during its passage through Congress.
"Zema's support demonstrates that this is a reform of the State, not of the government. The reform we advocate gives Minas Gerais the possibility to diversify its economy. Everything spent on processes can be deducted from tax collection. This makes Brazil grow, and from there, Minas Gerais, which is a small part of Brazil, can also grow. With the fiscal war, everyone lost. Now, everyone will win," said Lopes. (With information from...)The time).
