“The development of the Amazon you can’t just focus on tax breaks. The economic scheme must go hand in hand with the serious promotion of private investment with full respect for the environment and, above all, for the law, as well as an agile public investment dynamic ”, he highlighted.
Scenario was seconded by former minister Alonso Segura, who said that there is a problem of capacity – and when not, of “will” – at the governmental and private level to comply with the rules of the game.
