| Message | We wholeheartedly support proposals that can ensure the greatest possible economic independence for our country as well as the largest measure of economic stability, which is a must for prosperity. Both these goal can be achieved through this measure. However we urge our parliamentary colleagues to introduce or support legislation aimed at mitigating the effects of this tax hike on the lower and middle classes,as well as to try together so that we may be able to lower the taxes again as soon as possible. |
| Date | 18:21:03, January 09, 2020 CET | From | Kalopian Green Party (PKN) | To | Debating the Increase of taxation |
| Message | We can agree with the first 2 Articles, but we think the 3rd one is too much. We shouldn't increase the taxatation on essential things, because everyone needs them, even the poorest. Our party supports a better economic stabilty too, but we think it's too much. We can support the bill, if the Article 3 'Sales tax on essential goods such as food and non-luxury clothing.', the proposed number'd be changed to 8%. |
