The Government failed to the Industrial Molinera C.A. workers

06 July 2008

We, the Industrial Molinera C.A. workers, attended to work on Thursday July 3rd at midnight. We waited for theInternal Revenue Serviceauthorities to come and break the closingseals after havingserved 10 days of the illegal closure of our company. Authoritiesof the Internal Revenue Service never came.

The damage that the authorities cause us is immense. We, the workers, were unable to get our jobs done; Ecuadorians are left without supplies of flour, and that makes prices increase.

As a consecuence, the Internal Revenue Service may not be able to receive VAT taxes or withholding tax, bacause due to the closing, the company can notperform any activity, workers can not work or produce, or deliverflour, or prove the authorities and courts our tax perspective.

The people of Ecuador is the biggest loser. Enough of political persecution, the only ones who lose are the workers, the stateand people of Ecuador.

Sincerely,
