Use of "tomarse" in this sentence
Hola a todos,

Answer

"Todas las decisiones son iguales para todo el pais y se toman por el presidente y gobierno principal, no?"

So when it says "y se toman", the word "y" and the verb "tomar" in a plural way are telling you that it refers to "las decisiones". In other words, "las decisiones se toman por...". So this means that those decisions are made by... the president and the government.

Answer

The passive voice ( se toman = are taken ) "son tomadas."

Answer

Hola la palabra tomar en este párrafo significa que se debe seguir algo específico.
