TL;DR
- The mining sector and private companies are overburdened by taxes.
- Colombia should use its natural wealth to fund the state, not rely solely on increasing taxes.
- The ACM president believes the next government must support the growth of the mining industry.
- Most presidential candidates are seen as friendly to the mining industry, except for one representing continuity from the current government.
- The president of the ACM criticized Iván Cepeda for not engaging with the mining sector and not presenting proposals.
