He assured that each sector will be analyzed so that the country's development can continue.
Yesterday, Wednesday, in Pedernales, during the inauguration of the second phase of the Cabo Rojo Port, President Luis Abinader assured that in the tax reform project the Government will act as it always has, seeking the greatest consensus.
The governor said he is pushing for this reform even though many of those revenues will not be seen during his administration, but, he insisted, he has to respect the acquired rights of many of the exemptions and incentives that worked well for many years.
He stated that all exemptions and incentives are being reviewed and that many of them, such as tourism, are already performing very well. He added that will be analyzed to ensure the continued development of the country.
In the case of Pedernales, he clarified that the incentives are not being cut because it is a province that also has border development, and he cited that, for example, each project has acquired rights for 15 years and that will be respected.
"Let the dialogue and consensus continue, and we will seek a reform. Gentlemen, I would prefer not to do it and be very agreeable, but that would not be a responsible or patriotic task," he told the press after cutting the ribbon to inaugurate the second phase of the Port Cabo Rojo facilities and welcoming the third cruise ship with more than 3,000 passengers.
The president stated that everyone agrees on the need for reform and that it is even included in the National Development Strategy. "It has fallen to us to carry it out with great responsibility. Nobody wants to do a reform, nobody wants to do it, it falls to us and we are assuming that responsibility.".
In that same vein, he affirmed that it is a responsibility he has assumed for the country and expressed confidence that together with all Dominicans, "we will come out of this well, the economy will continue to grow, and we will continue to provide social assistance and also attend to those who need it most.".
He recalled that the economic team's proposal always stated it was intended for discussion in Congress. "Discussions began yesterday, will continue today, public hearings will follow tomorrow, and if necessary, will continue another day.".
