Sheinbaum Condemns Remittance Tax as Unjust and Unconstitutional

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum has condemned the recently implemented tax on remittances, calling it both unjust and unconstitutional. Speaking at a press conference, Sheinbaum argued that the tax unfairly burdens those who already contribute to the nation's tax revenue. "It's unconstitutional," she stated, "and it's a tax on those who have the least." She emphasized the disproportionate impact on low-income families who rely on remittances from relatives abroad. This criticism adds to the growing debate surrounding the economic and social implications of the tax policy. Sheinbaum's call for a shift towards taxing higher-income earners has sparked further discussion on potential alternatives to the current system.
