I need details from the Ministry of Public Health on how to coordinate with importers for the importation of a car since I am nearing the end of my mission.
Congratulations to those who have the privilege of being able to buy their car inside or outside the country for their collaborative service, you deserve it and well done for your merits and for what you contribute to the country. But I wonder, how has the country not taken into account those of us who at one time had the willingness and determination to fulfill that duty and contribute so much to this country through antex-sa, that many were even left with the purchase authorization letter and without any explanation they were left without it? It would be very good if those who think a little would reflect on the matter. Thank you very much.
Exacto.
Who invents those conditions? They shouldn’t have any, just pay for transportation, since the government exploits them in those missions, takes almost all the payment, and gives the collaborators a pittance. Guarantees and bureaucracy through State Importers. How long will the straitjackets last?
