The Popular Movement strongly criticized the 2026 finance bill, currently being examined by both chambers of Parliament, believing that it reflects “no coherent vision” with the principles of a social and productive State.
A text judged to be in continuity with past policies
In a statement released on Monday, the party said the project “reproduces the same approaches as those of previous governments”, seeking to “buy social peace” without tackling the root causes of the economic crisis.
The Popular Movement deplores the reduction in subsidies and the continuation of the austerity policy, particularly in the health, education and transport sectors, believing that the text remains “outward-looking” instead of being a lever for internal recovery.
No economic break according to the party
While welcoming the regularization of certain categories of precarious workers and substitute teachers, the party considers that the text “does not fundamentally differ” from previous finance laws.
He denounces the 11% increase in external debt and the pursuit of direct taxation, while emphasizing the absence of a clear economic vision in terms of wealth creation, employment and sustainable growth.
The Popular Movement called on parliamentarians to improve the investment climate, protect local agriculture and industry, and promote the digital economy, as part of a profound tax reform guaranteeing more justice and equity.
The party reaffirmed that “the social state must be productive and equitable”, adding that the success of the national project requires respect for political rights and the establishment of an independent justice system.
