• José Félix Tezanos has warned that inequalities are "skyrocketing and increasing more than would be natural."
• Edmund Valpy Fitzgerald, Emeritus Professor of Economics at Oxford University, gave a presentation focusing on inequality and taxation.

José Félix Tezanos, who inaugurated a course on inequalities in today's world this Monday at the Magdalena Palace, asserted that "if the problem of inequality is not addressed promptly and with social policies, the world is heading toward an unlivable future."

Furthermore, the president of the CIS has warned that inequalities are "skyrocketing and increasing more than would be natural" and will be exacerbated by the current government of the wealthy in the United States.

On this subject, he criticized the US for cutting off all development aid and assistance to address extreme needs, ending social assistance in his country.

Also speaking today was Edmund Valpy Fitzgerald, Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Oxford, who gave a presentation focusing on inequality and taxation.

In the afternoon, a roundtable discussion on inequalities in the era of globalization was held, with the participation of Tezanos, Fitzgerald, and sociology professor Óscar Iglesias.
