The government needs more money, new taxes have been suggested, but opposition parties like the PRD, PRI and MIUCA have a better suggestion. According to Orlando Jorge Mera, Secretary General of the PRD, it is time for government to do its bit. "Citizens have fulfilled their quota, now it's the government's turn to make a sacrifice, adopt an austerity plan and tighten its belt as a result of this international financial crisis." Trajano Santana, President of the PRI, said that the reason the government needs more money is because of contradictions in their economic team, the squandering of public funds and maintaining an unsustainable payroll. Manuel Salazar, secretary general of the PCT says that while the government wants to increase taxes they will also want to reduce social spending.
