Federico Gutiérrez says Petro is Colombia’s “internal enemy”

According to Gutiérrez, the project will “cripple the productive sector, increase unemployment and inflation, thereby reducing household income and well-being”; He also indicates that the tax falls on specific economic sectors such as mining, energy and oil.

“First, the reform imposes an undue burden on businesses and is ideologically cruel to specific sectors of the economy, such as finance, oil, mining and electricity. By discriminating against a few sectors, it goes against the horizontal justice required by a modern and efficient tax system,” it reads.

“To this is added that with the discouragement mining energy exploitation will reduce royalties, national savings and regional investment, thereby creating employment and household income. The regions and the people will be the biggest losers in this reform,” he added.

He also questioned the Petro government’s decision to gas exploration in the country, pointing out that we would be dependent on Venezuela.
