Sheinbaum Won’t Negotiate Tax Bill With Billionaire Salinas

(Bloomberg) – Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected the request of negotiating with Magnate Ricardo Salinas on billions of dollars of tax requests, which the government claims to be owed.

Sheinbaum said on Friday that he would not call 74 billion pesoya ($ 4 billion) on tax disputes, he said he would not call it “negotiations in the dark”. Salinas is organizing a political movement against the leftist Mexican government.

Sheinbaum said at a daily press conference, “The issue is that there are things that cannot be bargained, because not political, this law”.

Sheinbaum made Salinas and the alleged tax debts into a recurrent theme. On Thursday, Salinas urged Sheinbaum to stop the attacks against him and to make a “open, serious and transparent negotiation üzerinde on the alleged tax bill.

Salinas, one of the richest men of the country that controls the device seller and Bank Groupo Elektra, wrote, the trust of millions of Mexicans, who want a country with open rules, investment, business and future, ”.

Sheinbaum said the Mexican Constitution has now prohibited from forgiveness of taxes that benefit the country’s elite. Sheinbaum added that Salinas has the option to solve 48 billion pesoy on the evaluated tax requests and has the option to avoid some penalties that add more than 74 billion Pesos together.

Salinas’ companies appealed tax requests and nine cases will be resolved by the new Supreme Court of the country.

At the beginning of this week, Salinas’s holding took a more aggressive stance against Sheinbaum and evaluated the government of suing for slander and fighting against “political cruelty .. But a day later, Salinas himself issued a request to negotiate.

Salinas, in recent years to call the presidency and repeated questions about the search.

Tio Richie or Uncle Rich, a violent critic of the leftist ruling party, claimed that it was not restricted under common corruption and punishment in violence. In recent interviews, he said that he thought of a serious run, inspired by the victories of other political foreigners, such as Javier Milei in Argentina.

Last week, Salinas made Mexico’s Independence Day to Mark’s own video, where he mimically imitated Sheinbaum’s official seriousness during the night celebrations, and called on the Mexicans to participate in a campaign against his party that will embrace private property and freedom.

Salinas also plans to celebrate the 70th birthday at Mexico City’s main football stadium and sends an invitation to say that the cost of the event is on it on Friday.

Sheinbaum’s predecessor and mentor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador organized the closing campaign rally at the same stadium in 2018.
