About this document
Tax Promises in Colombian Politics by Laura Rincon is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the populist discourse used by Colombian political leaders, focusing on the 2010 presidential campaign between Juan Manuel Santos and Antanas Mockus regarding tax increases. Santos campaigned on a promise not to raise taxes, but during his presidency, he implemented several tax reforms that contradicted this commitment. The author suggests that had Santos been honest about his intentions, Mockus might have won the election.
