MEXICO CITY - Mexico’s president threw himself into a new confrontation with businesses on Wednesday, accusing big companies of not paying taxes and upbraiding others for laying off workers during the coronavirus crisis.
On Tuesday, one of Lopez Obrador’s top business allies, Carlos Salazar, head of the powerful CCE business lobby, vented his frustration, urging the president to drop his divisive rhetoric and do more for the economy. “We don’t want the bad behavior of a few to be taken up by others. We’re still in time to urge, respectfully, for the ones doing this to improve,” he said.
“If they pay us, we would have many more resources to help small and medium-sized companies,” he said.
