The tax policy formed by Danylo Hetmantsev, chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Taxation and Customs Policy, forces entrepreneurs to close their businesses or engage in open confrontation with the MP. This was stated in an exclusive commentary to UNN by activist Dmytro, who came dressed as a goose to the Mind Entrepreneur Summit 2024.
At the conference for small and medium-sized businesses where Hetmantsev was scheduled to speak, people dressed as geese came with the inscription "Touch me, don't touch business!". This is probably a reference to Getmantsev's famous phrase : "What is proper taxation? It is the art of plucking a goose without it screaming." After the broadcast of Hetmantsev's address began, the "geese" began to walk around the hall in a demonstrative manner, and then turned their backs on Hetmantsev.

"We came to this event because a real speech by Mr. Hetmantsev and a question-and-answer session were originally announced. We represent the interests of entrepreneurs, whom Mr. Hetmantsev promised to "pluck like geese". So, we have no more room to tolerate. The situation is extremely difficult now - we need to donate, support the military, volunteer and, in the end, just feed our families. However, the tax policy that currently exists in the country simply forces us to close our business. It can't go on like this, Hetmantsev leaves us no choice," commented Dmitry.
