The minister used a reference from the iconic film to defend an ARCA measure. However, users pointed out the error.
The Minister of Deregulation, Federico Sturzenegger, this Monday compared a measure by the government of Javier Milei with the plot of the movie Star Wars and generated a reaction from users on the networks due to an unusual error.
The economist presented with great fanfare an initiative to deregulate the Customs Collection and Control Agency (ARCA) about tax transparency which forces companies to discriminate provincial and national rates and taxes in their invoices.
Through social networks, the former head of the BCRA compared the beginning of the protests over US independence and the plot of the iconic fictional saga created by George Lucas to try to affirm that both began with the attempt to create new taxes.
“The North American War of Independence began in protest against higher taxes on the marketing of tea. Even the Star Wars saga begins when the Trade Federation wants to impose new taxes on trade routes and the planet Naboo refuses to pay them.”said.
Sturzenegger He made it clear that the world of Star Wars is not his thing and the users let him know. The Trade Federation did not impose taxes in the film, but rather their protest was against the Republic for its imposition.
The story begins with the blockade imposed by the Trade Federation on the planet of Naboo in order to put the Galactic Republic in check. The objective: negotiate for a free trade zone that exempts them from paying taxes.
The senator Palpatine He is the one who plays a central role in the plot of the film, since he is the one who presses for the increase in taxes and, in turn, through his secret identity of Sith Lord prompts the Federation to block Naboo. With this strategy, their secret objective is to end the Republic from within.
