Senator Carlos Castillo (PLD-San Jose de Ocoa) says that the taxation proposal presented by the government needs to be accompanied by a Bill for Fiscal Responsibility, as established in the National Development Strategy Law. As reported in Hoy, he said that this law would set the standards and penalties to guarantee its fulfillment. Castillo also criticized the government for not making any effort to explain how the taxation proposal adheres to the criteria for a comprehensive fiscal reform.
