Santa Marta, donde empieza un nuevo rumbo global
En noviembre, Santa Marta fue sede de un debate global tan discreto como decisivo: la financiación del desarrollo. La Cumbre entre los países de América Latina y el Caribe (CELAC) y la Unión Europea (UE) reunió dos visiones sobre cómo enfrentar desafíos que marcan la vida diaria de millones de personas: la desigualdad, el cambio climático, la deuda creciente y la fragilidad de los sistemas tributarios.
TL;DR
- The CELAC-EU summit in Santa Marta focused on financing development and shared global challenges.
- Two visions for development financing were presented: the EU's Global Gateway and CELAC's focus on tax collection and progressive systems.
- Latin America relies heavily on consumption taxes and tax benefits, while external debt limits investment.
- Europe faces political resistance to ambitious tax proposals like digital service taxes and wealth taxation.
- A roadmap for 2025-2027 was agreed upon, promising concrete efforts in technical cooperation and strengthening tax administrations.
- The summit emphasized that fiscal justice requires alliances, not isolated efforts, to build a more equitable future.
