In Mexico, the Fiscal Reform proposal presented by President Enrique Peña Nieto has been strongly criticized by specialists and the general population, especially on the decision to tax pet foods, among other controversial aspects in the document presented by the President.
This prompted Morris, the "excandigato" to the mayorship of Xalapa, Verarcruz, to return to the political stage in Mexico, this time to support the protests on rising taxes and organize the first virtual protest on social networks last Friday, August 13, informed Mexican magazine Proceso.
Morris was conceived as a manner of "virtual" protest to oppose the political class in Mexico. The excandigato surprised everyone when the people of Veracruz gave him between 7,000 and 9,000 votes in the elections last July 7. This put in him fourth place among the candidates to the mayorship, with a total of 10 percent of the registered votes, reported the Mexican website Lea Noticias.
Besides being a funny way to protest against traditional politics and the enormous corruption in Mexican politics, Candigato Morris' campaign managed to demonstrate that there is a real weariness among the general population towards the political practices of the country. This won him several analyses and the reviews of specialists.
Now, Morris has kept his word not to abandon politics and has started a campaign through his Facebook page, where he asks pet owners to join civil organizations to protest in favor of animals against the tax on pet food.
"In Mexico owning a pet is not a luxury, with the tax on food those most affected will be animal shelters who carry out noble and important work."
"This Friday, September 13: Tweet your Deputy or Senator 'NoalIVAenAlimentosparaAnimales.'"
"Let collection of taxes come from efficiently fining those who abuse animals," invited Morris in his social networks in the first of his actions against the Fiscal Reform.
