Mercadona CEO Roig: Regional tax disparities unfair, calls for uniform taxation

Juan Roig, president of Mercadona, publicly criticized Spain's regional tax system, noting that a cashier in Valencia pays more taxes than one in Madrid for the same job and salary. He argues for a uniform tax regime across regions, framing the issue as a political problem. This marks a notable intervention by a major business figure into Spain's ongoing fiscal decentralization debate, potentially influencing public discourse ahead of elections.
