It seems that the Pharmacists strike reached to an end after days of serious strike. I could not post anything in the morning because the news was not confirmed in the media.
The Pharmacists has put the strike on hold. They reached to an agreement with the ministry of finance.
That stupid decision to make them pay the old taxes starting from 2005 is cancelled.
There will be negotiations with the ministry of finance regarding the news taxes.
And “this is another big news” the minister of Finance Youssef Ghali called the head of the Pharmacists syndication to apologize personally for the statements of Ashraf Al Arabi :)
I am happy ,this is a successful strike seriously .
I hope that other people who suffer in other professions take the Pharmacists and also the Real estate tax collectors as model examples.
look what egyptians do to each other, they take the meds out of the hand of the each other oh what a shame on you egyptian pharmacists.
ReplyDeleteyou know what is shame ?? the real shame is the treatment of taxes to the pharmacists !! It is a shame , a real shame to jail them because of stupid unjust taxes
ReplyDeleteThey did not anything wrong , their strike was civilized according to the health minister , nothing shame in it
no it's not a shame, good citizens pay taxes and they never take meds from people to flee taxes, i wonder if you gonna accuse the regime he is the responsible one for this or not
ReplyDeleteDid you read the old unjust tax law that they wanted to impose on the Pharmacies ?? the pharmacists did not flee any taxes ,check your info again.
ReplyDeleteBastawisi, please check your facts before firing wrong accusations towards Egyptian pharmacists. Pharmacists in Egypt are some of the few professions that pay their taxes correctly (as their stock is easily verified). The blame in this incident is 100% on the ministry of finance sudden demand of extra taxes that is constitutionally illegal. Why doesn't the ministry of finance target those making billions and are not paying taxes on most of it such as those holding Egyptians hostage by their monopoly of steel and cement?
