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)

A few days ago, in an incredibly cynical statement, the EU told the peoples of its member states that 50 million of them, due to energy prices, have to choose this year: Either they will spend money to feed themselves and therefore will be cold, or they will spend money to warm themselves and therefore will starve! According to the EU Energy Commissioner, the reason for this is the energy crisis... Now let's explain to the Commissioner and the local sycophants why the cause of this cannibalism is "Capitalism, you idiot": — The total GDP of the EU is nearly 18 trillion euros. — In 2025, military spending by member states reached 418 billion euros, marking an increase for the 11th consecutive year. — In 2026 (when households must choose between food or heating) military spending is expected to rise to 454 billion euros, an increase of 8.6% compared to 2025 and 75.3% compared to 2021. — In 2025, investments in the defense sector (military industry) showed an impressive increase of 23% compared to 2024, reaching an unprecedented high of 134 billion euros. In fact, this upward trend will continue in 2026, when investments in the defense sector are expected to reach almost 163 billion euros. This is an increase of 158.7% compared to 2021! — In the first half of 2026, according to an analysis by the European organization Transport & Environment (T&E), only 8 oil companies collected about 7.5 billion euros in excess profits within the EU. Six of these large companies (BP, Shell, Eni, Orlen, Repsol, and OMV) doubled their profits in the European market in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same quarter of 2025, taking advantage of high prices for refined fuels. — Major energy companies operating in Europe and Britain have surpassed 26.2 billion pounds in profits since the beginning of 2026. — The net profits of the 500 largest companies in the EU based on revenue reached 547 billion euros in 2025. — The top 10 banks in Europe in 2025 had annual profits of 92 billion euros, marking an increase of 8% compared to 2024. This is the reality for the EU of monopolies. The capitalist Union that on the one hand enriches a handful of parasites who appropriate wealth, which has a fortune for the coffers and the cogs of the war economy, and on the other hand orders the millions of workers who produce the wealth to decide whether they will starve or whether they will be cold... #ΕΕ #Καπιταλισμός #ΕνεργειακήΚρίση (translated)

FLASH | CMA CGM is putting pressure on the State: the French giant is renouncing to place 7 new ships under the French flag, while a new exceptional contribution on its profits is being considered. The group, which had committed to bringing its fleet under the French flag to 40 ships by 2028, will ultimately stop at 33. The other seven will be registered elsewhere.

La Poste veut liquider 500 bureaux d’ici 2030. La société ne cesse de se déshumaniser!

La marge des pétroliers a été multipliée par 7,5 depuis le début de l’année. Mais Total n’en a jamais assez et pratique en plus de l’évasion fiscale aux Pays-Bas et en Suisse.
