Martín Llaryora
, governor of Córdoba, said this Tuesday that " the
restitution
of the
fourth category of the Income Tax
is a
mistake
" due to how "depressed salaries are" and that it would be more beneficial to aim to tax "high incomes." "progressively.
Thus, he contradicted the official position that put this requirement on the table for the debate on co-participation
as a claim of the provinces
.
Interviewed on the TN signal, the provincial leader was asked what his position was going to be regarding the Nation's proposal "to solve the fiscal issues of the provinces", as the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos, expressed hours before.
"If you ask me, it seems like a mistake (to restore Profits). We have to go
for high incomes
in a similar fourth-category scheme
that leaves out workers
and goes to high incomes," said Llaryora.
The governor expanded.
"In this context
with the recession
, with what is happening, going back to
salaries
that are totally
depressed by inflation
, because that's what
the chainsaw and the blender
are, it seems to me that we have to go for high incomes," he insisted.
"It may be that this is offered, there are other variables," he responded to the question of what the Government will bring to debate in the preparatory meetings of the aforementioned May Pact promoted by Javier Milei.
Llaryora seemed to want to make it clear that Profits are not the agenda of the governors or at least, not of everyone nor a common demand.
Regarding the call for preliminary meetings with the Franco ministers, Luis Caputo, of Economy;
and the Chief of Staff Nicolás Posse, the Cordoba president tried to prioritize the attempt at dialogue that arose, not without prior disagreements, from the Government.
"You have to sit down with an open agenda, but more than talking about income,
let's start to see how we produce
because I see that everyone is in that part and we are not realizing that
month by month Argentina is going to enter a recessive process where
unemployment
is going to start to increase
and we have measures to promote investments," he warned
Then he became more alarmed.
"Keep in mind that in
a couple of months the discussion will be different
. Unemployment, recession and every month you lose, that the legislation is not there... For me that agenda is more important than the other," he countered.
In the morning, within the framework of Expoagro where President Javier Milei was present, Francos had outlined that rolling back the change in Profits that Sergio Massa established in the middle of the electoral campaign "is a request from the governors."
I accompanied President @JMilei on his tour of @Expoagrocom.
It was gratifying to see people's support and optimism.
The #ExpoAgro shows us the importance of the countryside for industrial development and the desire that Argentines have to see the country grow.

In his portfolio of complaints received, the Minister of the Interior put the concern of the provinces to "solve their fiscal problems" and in that sense he proposed as an official counterproposal "the putting into effect again of the income tax."
