By Plenary Sessions: Diana Ingerainen

The political stance is strongly opposed to the draft bill proposing a reduction in VAT on foodstuffs, based on analyses demonstrating the measure's ineffectiveness in providing consumer relief.

The speaker stresses that, regrettably, the effects of these tax adjustments either fail to reach the consumer or are extremely short-lived.
