Fighting corruption is one of the actions that is a priority of the Mexican government led by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
For this reason, radical decisions have been made, including eliminating support for instances where women suffering from domestic violence are found, as well as eliminating financial support for CSOs.
For some experts from international organizations such as Oxfam, they consider that fighting corruption to have more resources that allow social investment is wrong.
Researchers gathered at the Mexican France Mobile Number List headquarters of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) warned that withdrawing resources from civil society under the argument that fighting corruption will raise the resources needed by vulnerable groups, as the President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, is a mistake that can lead to setbacks on issues that had already advanced.
That is why they propose a more efficient collection that charges large corporations the tax rates that they really must pay, that is, in income tax, especially to transnational corporations whose profits do not remain in the country.
According to Chilean economist Ricardo Martner, former director of the Fiscal Affairs Unit of ECLAC and current member of the Independent Commission for Global Corporate Tax Reform, “the fight against corruption is not enough to have more resources, a tax reform is required. that results in public investment. A social pact requires more and better collection.”
For her part, researcher Magdalena Sepúlveda warned that withdrawing resources from civil organizations under the argument of fighting corruption will bring significant social and gender inequality, by limiting the possibilities of providing care to vulnerable groups without combating large-scale corruption.
“The restriction on the work of civil society prevents a breadth of voices in public discussion. In addition, there is a gender impact, yes, I am referring to children's homes and shelters for women survivors of domestic violence ,” said Sepúlveda, a member of the UN Research Institute for Social Development.
More taxes on large companies
According to Susana Ruiz, an expert in tax justice at Oxfam, "inequality in tax collection directly impacts low social investment, the experts noted. Everything that large corporations do not pay to the government is paid by citizens: whether through budget cuts, with austerity programs that reduce investment in social policies; by the privatization of services or by increasing the fiscal effort of families.
