Bally Bagayoko explained that his group abstained during the vote on a wish presented by the opposition elected officials from the Socialist, Environmentalists, and Citizens group at the municipal council. The text focused on the protection of girls and women against excision and female genital mutilation, as well as the adoption of a comprehensive law against sexist and sexual violence (SSV). He said that his group supported the fight against mutilations and reminded that nearly 500 patients received follow-up each year in the municipality. He also praised the work of the Women's House, Delafontaine Hospital, and various associations, and asked the State to strengthen the resources allocated for prevention and medical follow-up. According to Bally Bagayoko, the abstention concerned the request to quickly adopt the law on SSV. He indicated that the bill had been significantly amended in committee at the National Assembly the week of the municipal council, and its content remained uncertain. His group had asked to remove references to this law from the wish in order to be able to vote in favor of the text on the fight against excision, but the opposition had refused, he wrote. He believed that this refusal had hindered the pursuit of an agreement and denounced a political instrumentalization of the issue. The group ultimately abstained in order not to block the wish, which was adopted, while not supporting all of its content, he noted. #Excision #DroitsDesFemmes #LutteContreLesViolences (translated)

Alexandre Jardin called for the dismissal of deputies who, according to him, were quietly proposing amendments aimed at increasing taxes. He stated that taxpayers were at their breaking point and that the country was already the most taxed in the world, citing François Hollande as one of the responsible parties he pointed out. He also argued that high-ranking officials elected to lead parties that favored tax increases lived off public spending and had a fundamentally taxing approach. According to him, citizens found themselves in an impossible situation because they had handed over the keys to power. He finally concluded that, without RefCitoyen, they would remain defenseless. #Taxes #Politique #France (translated)

Alexandre Jardin stated that amendments prevented the National Assembly from completing the examination of a bill aimed at abolishing low emission zones (ZFE) on Thursday, October 8, and therefore from proceeding to the final vote. He cited amendment no. 7, submitted by Lisa Belluco and co-signed by 35 other deputies, which proposed to remove the sole article of the text. Jardin believed that this obstruction contributed to the continued exclusion of poor people from major cities amid a social crisis. He also wrote that the French had not been able to vote on the abolition of the ZFE, a vote he said was awaited by "8 out of 10 French people." He reminded that democracy allows for both debate and voting and mentioned 40MA and the ZFE Beggars. He listed among the signatories of the amendment Clémentine Autain, Alexis Corbière, François Ruffin, Sandrine Rousseau, Lisa Belluco, Pouria Amirshahi, Christine Arrighi, Léa Balage El Mariky, Karim Ben Cheikh, Benoît Biteau, Arnaud Bonnet, Nicolas Bonnet, Cyrielle Chatelain, Hendrik Davi, Emmanuel Duplessy, Charles Fournier, Marie-Charlotte Garin, Damien Girard, Steevy Gustave, Catherine Hervieu, Jérémie Iordanoff, Julie Laernoes, Tristan Lahais, Benjamin Lucas-Lundy, Julie Ozenne, Sébastien Peytavie, Marie Pochon, Jean-Claude Raux, Sandra Regol, Jean-Louis Roumégas, Eva Sas, Sabrina Sebaihi, Danielle Simonnet, Sophie Taillé-Polian, Boris Tavernier, and Nicolas Thierry. #Démocratie #ZFE #Politique (translated)

Mona Keijzer wrote that the Jetten cabinet repeatedly closed budget deficits with new tax increases, in her opinion. She said that the VAT on flowers and plants would rise from 9 to 21 percent and that this would put 2,440 jobs at risk, but according to her, this was not taken into account. Keijzer announced that she had submitted an amendment to keep the VAT at 9 percent in 2028. https://t.co/h0IP43M1Qo #belastingverhoging #werkgelegenheid #btw (translated)

Dividend King provided an update on the amendments concerning investors and entrepreneurs reviewed by the finance committee as part of the 2027 budget. He indicated that nearly all proposals aimed at increasing the flat tax had been rejected, such as the proposals to abolish the single flat-rate tax. A final amendment was supposed to be submitted for a vote that very day, but it had little chance of being adopted. According to his report, the committee had rejected all amendments aimed at tightening the Exit Tax, particularly those seeking to extend its duration from 2 to 15 years. However, it had adopted proposals to include portfolios of cryptocurrencies exceeding €800,000 in this scheme, to tax capital gains realized during conversions into stablecoins, and to impose a declaration to the tax authorities for self-hosted crypto portfolios of at least €100,000. Failure to declare could result in a fine of up to €10,000, he specified. Dividend King also stated that an amendment aimed at extending the 2% tax on holdings to financial investments had been withdrawn and that amendment I-CF1440, which proposed to abolish the tax on certain non-professional assets of wealth management holdings, had not been supported. He added that the amendment on contribution-disposition put forward by the general budget rapporteur, Philippe Juvin, had been adopted. This included stricter controls on donations of holding shares and changes to the taxation deferral regime, with transitional provisions for contributions made before October 7, 2026. The author believed that cryptocurrency holders were, at this stage, the main losers. He emphasized, however, that these results only concerned the finance committee and that the amendments still needed to be examined in a public session. He also reminded that amendments rejected in committee could return during debates and that the government could have its original version of the budget adopted through Article 49.3 or through ordinances. #Budget2027 #Cryptomonnaies #Finances (translated)

Hadrien Clouet mocked the fact that the 66,000 contributions from high school students were to feed budget amendments "in accordance with the Prime Minister's guidelines."

Blue White Red! wrote that the National Assembly had rejected an amendment from the RN aimed at permanently expelling foreigners convicted of sexual violence.

The author stated that the United States was eliminating H-1B visas granted to companies which, according to him, had brought in thousands of low-paid foreign workers to replace American employees. He added that Jean-Philippe Tanguy had recently submitted an amendment in France aimed at taxing visas, an initiative that would have gone unnoticed. https://t.co/YEWNWL9GeO #Visas #Travail #Immigration #US #FR (translated)

The author indicated that a resolution he described as historic against the infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhood within the European Union was adopted on Thursday at the European Parliament. He attributed a central role to the ID-Liberals and the ECR group, notably in the adoption of several amendments. https://t.co/fRbZMYpA45 #UnionEuropéenne #FrèresMusulmans #RésolutionHistorique #EU #FR (translated)

Hasheur condemned the accumulation of new reporting obligations, data leaks, security issues, and tax rules targeting crypto investors in France. He also criticized a proposal that would make the declaration of large portfolios mandatory, arguing that sharing this sensitive information in the current security context would expose investors. However, he welcomed the possibility of deferring capital losses over ten years. On the other hand, he found concerning the amendment that would make the transition from a cryptocurrency to a stablecoin taxable. According to him, this measure would eliminate tax flexibility, allowing investors to secure their gains without paying tax immediately before withdrawing their profits. Hasheur clarified that the amendment, brought by Nicolas Sansu and deputies from the GDR group, including communists, had been adopted in the finance committee on October 7, but that it had not yet been definitively voted on and therefore had no force of law. He felt that the direction taken was not reassuring and stated that he could no longer believe that the situation made sense. #Crypto #Fiscalité #Investissement (translated)

Some French deputies acknowledge using artificial intelligence to draft their questions and amendments, sparking debates about its role as a tool for assistance or a means of circumventing parliamentary processes. #IntelligenceArtificielle #Politique #AssembléeNationale (translated)

Dividend King criticized an amendment which, according to him, would propose extending the duration of the Exit Tax to 15 years, compared to the current two or five years. He explained that this provision allowed the French state to tax the unrealized capital gains of certain taxpayers leaving the country, even if they had not sold their securities. According to his description, the taxation could be canceled if the securities were held for two or five years, depending on their value, but would become payable in the event of a sale before the end of the period. He also indicated that financial guarantees could be required depending on the destination country. Dividend King believed that a 15-year period would prevent taxpayers from selling without the French taxation on capital gains accumulated before their departure and could be contrary to European law. He added that the individuals concerned would still have to declare these capital gains to the French tax authorities, even after ten years of living and paying taxes in another country. He presented the amendment as a signal encouraging people to leave France before being subject to the Exit Tax and claimed that socialism ultimately erects barriers to prevent people from leaving. #ExitTax #Fiscalité #Expatriation (translated)

"The law enforcement agencies are not instructed to violently confront the high school students."

Guillaume Kasbarian estimated that a strong reduction in public spending would allow the State to take less money from citizens. He presented a savings plan of 250 billion euros, specifying that the amendments were ready and that he intended to defend them in the Assembly. https://t.co/njMQUl4FUG #Économie #BudgetPublic #Gouvernance (translated)

Dividend King estimated that the new proposals aimed at increasing the flat tax would mainly penalize small savers rather than the wealthiest. According to him, the latter would distribute very few dividends personally, transferring them from operating companies to holding companies, where the mother-daughter regime would allow them to exempt 95%. He added that there are other ways to benefit from funds held in a holding company without distributing dividends or salaries, without detailing them. He criticized the deputies behind these proposals, including Eric Coquerel, for confusing revenue and profit. According to him, the measures targeting Bernard Arnault in particular would penalize small savers who are building wealth through a PEA or a regular securities account (CTO). He finally estimated that a reduction of the flat tax to 15%, or even 10%, would lead to the exit of hundreds of billions of euros from holding companies. #Fiscalité #Économie #Patrimoine (translated)
