Columnists aren’t happy with hysteria over amendments to real estate taxes

Columnists aren’t too happy with how the government has responded to hysteria over real estate taxes: Amr Hashem Rabie takes to the pages of Al Masry Al Youm to lambast the government for “scaring” people into quickly paying off their real estate taxes, while leaving rumors about the levy to circulate without trying to dispel them. This response (or lack thereof) is reflective of the government’s lack of concern over how much panic these policies can create, particularly when they are not explained thoroughly enough.
