DF gubernatorial candidate Celina Leão details plans to boost local commerce, prioritizing a tax freeze and the implementation of a broad refinancing program for open-air market vendors.
Political momentum in the Federal District is entering a new chapter focused on the productive sector. In recent meetings with business owners and workers from open-air markets, candidate Celina Leão (PP) presented guidelines aimed at balancing regional revenue by fostering economic activity rather than increasing the tax burden.
The candidate’s core message revolves around fiscal stability and bureaucratic simplification. By prioritizing the maintenance of current tax rates, the plan aims to create a predictable environment for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs to expand their businesses with greater legal certainty, cementing commerce as an engine of development for the capital.
Tax refinancing for market vendors and fiscal stability
One of the most prominent highlights is the announcement of an aggressive debt refinancing program specifically tailored for market vendors. The initiative seeks to resolve financial pendencies that hinder the growth of these professionals, offering conditions for them to regain regularity in their operations.
The candidate stated:
We are going to implement the largest Refis [tax refinancing program] in history for market vendors. We are going to ensure they have the means to reorganize themselves.
In addition to fiscal incentives, the proposal includes guaranteed tenure at market stalls and a plan to occupy spaces that are currently vacant. The administration intends to utilize the expertise of Sebrae to assist in managing these businesses, providing more robust support to workers.
Focus on legal certainty and regional development
The strategy for the DF economy is not limited to the market sector. Celina Leão‘s proposal encompasses land and commercial regularization, with an emphasis on administrative regions such as Núcleo Bandeirante and Vila Cauhy. The goal is to eliminate uncertainties that stall investments in these areas.
The policy of not raising taxes is presented as the cornerstone of the proposal. The logic behind the promise is that by stimulating the opening of new businesses and strengthening existing ones, revenue growth will occur organically, keeping pace with the expansion of sales volume and service offerings throughout the Brasília region.
In the coming months, the business sector is expected to closely monitor how these guidelines translate into practical government actions. Market expectations are that deregulation and tax protection will indeed generate a positive effect on job retention and attract new capital to the Federal District.
