In every village, in every neighborhood, there are monuments, sometimes in a pitiful state, that need some revitalization. They are precious witnesses of our past," emphasizes Ben Weyts, notably citing the statue of the priest-worker Adolf Daens in Alost, which has been recently restored. Our buildings and landscapes tell the stories of those who came before us. Some are buried in oblivion, others are part of the collective memory. By telling them, we bring the stories of yesterday and today to life. We want to keep the history of Flanders alive and continue, all together, to write it. The preservation of Flemish artistic heritage is the responsibility of all. Regional authorities cannot bear this responsibility alone. #Flandre #Patrimoine #Culture (translated)

Dividend King described a climate he deemed particularly negative in France. He wrote that the entrepreneurs he knew were considering leaving, although many, in his view, would not follow through. He also indicated that the tax advisors and wealth managers he spoke with received numerous requests for expatriation from their clients, a trend that had supposedly increased since the dissolution of the Assembly and would accelerate as the presidential election approached. He specified that these clients held fortunes in the range of 7, 8, or 9 figures. The author added that many university students he had recently discussed with wanted to start their professional lives abroad, even if not all would realize this project. In the stock market, he estimated that French investors were increasingly turning away from companies in the CAC 40 in favor of global or American markets, and that the recent performance of these markets justified their decisions. He finally said he had never observed, in his lifetime, such a negative sentiment at so many levels and expected the trend to continue. #entrepreneuriat #expatriation #france (translated)

The author expressed joy at the discovery of the two Renoir paintings stolen in September from the museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer and praised the work of the investigators from the Criminal Police and the Central Office for the Fighting against the Trafficking of Goods. #Patrimoine #Renoir #Justice #FR (translated)

These two paintings are not just simple works of art. They belong to the History of our city, to our heritage, and to the legacy left by Auguste Renoir in Cagnes-sur-Mer. The regained knowledge is a great relief," commented Bryan Masson in a statement. #CagnesSurMer #VolDeTableaux #PatrimoineArtistique (translated)

Sylvain Catherine considered that a person living in a nursing home and receiving rental income could sell the concerned property to finance their needs. He believed that increasing the return on this capital was artificial and that it would be more logical to consume it at this stage of life. He wondered whether the heirs were not the only beneficiaries of measures allowing for the preservation of the property. #EHPAD #finances #patrimoine (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)

Dividend King wrote that Google made more than 20 times the profits of TotalEnergies in the second quarter of 2026 and, alone, nearly twice those of all the companies in the CAC 40. He added that he followed American news daily without seeing any media or American political leader calling for the nationalization of Google or a taxation of its "windfall profits" or "super dividends." He presented this as one of the many reasons why a significant portion of his wealth was invested in the United States. #Google #Bénéfices #CAC40 (translated)
