MPD Facilities were Closed in Quito due to Tax Breach
Posted On 17 Aug 2019
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) closed this afternoon Friday the facilities of the Popular Democratic Movement Party (MPD) in Quito, for a period of seven days. Its leader, Luis Villacis, described the measure as part of political persecution.
“We are victims of political persecution by the government of (President) RafaelCorrea, because he thinks he is going to silence our voice with this closure,” said Villacís who announced that no matter what they will take to the streets to say NO “to the economic package” that the country suffers.
The SRI said that before the closure it was sent 10 warnings of punishment due to tax breach to the main representative of the MPD.
