Sounds like a monopoly that is government funded.
It is a repetitive mechanism here.
In the 90s, with the economic crisis, some restaurants and other private businesses emerged clandestinely. The government did not pursue them, it let the market test itself, it seems like the Austrian school but do not be fooled. It did so in order to later enter the game. It did so through FRONTS, it put people apparently as private individuals in representation of them. Then it was time to eliminate the competition, how to do it? RAISE TAXES. Why would the government have to use front men? So that the increase in prices would not be "the responsibility of the government."
This resource was repeated when imports began.
Now they are the MSMEs, some may be from some private individuals, but we know that the majority are from Front Men.
They have already started to modify the terms for the management of MSMEs. They want to eliminate the competition.
SO IT IS A MONOPOLY
