Ronny Naftaniel wrote that the umbrella organization of Jewish organizations CJO was rightly furious about the events of October 7. He referred to a statement in which CJO stated that Jews in the Netherlands should not have to hide behind fences to mourn their dead while support for those who had killed them was openly expressed on the street. The organization said it had had enough of intimidation, turning a blind eye, and statements of outrage that did not lead to action, and demanded measures. https://t.co/1LdM7cG45x #JoodseGemeenschap #Solidariteit #Intimidatie (translated)

Uri Rosenthal pressed three years after October 7 for the statement of EU foreign chief Kaja Kallas. He wrote that the British politician Andy Burnham had also given a worthy statement and had called out antisemitism. According to Rosenthal, the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz had reaffirmed support for Israel, while French President Emmanuel Macron had spoken out against the terrorism of Hamas and for an unconditional fight against antisemitism. Regarding Jetten, Rosenthal wrote that he had once again made a mistake on October 7, 2026. #EU #antisemitisme #Israel (translated)

Geert Noels stated that a study by Vooruit estimated the annual cost of corporate taxation at 4.2 to 4.7 billion euros, but according to him, due to significant errors, it actually amounted to about 1 billion euros. He argued that this cost could not be offset by higher taxes, which he believed would cause more harm than benefit; he advocated for better oversight of bogus self-employment. Noels identified the main mistake as the comparison between directors via a management company and employees. According to him, directors were legally self-employed and paid contributions up to a ceiling. This comparison would overestimate the estimate by more than 1 billion euros. Moreover, employer contributions were calculated based on the total labor cost instead of the gross salary, resulting in a calculation of 33 percent instead of 25 percent. Noels also disputed that there were four independent estimates: according to him, they used the same rates and distribution keys. He pointed out that estimate C assumed 24 billion euros in shifted profits, compared to about 15 billion euros in total profits in estimate A. Furthermore, factors such as the tax shift, energy crisis, inflation, the reform of corporate tax in 2017, and Pillar 2 were not included as explanations for the macro figures. Also, liquidation reserves of ordinary SMEs would have been counted as leaks. According to Noels, the study also did not take behavior effects into account, such as substitution, cessation, moving abroad, losses, or bankruptcies, and only included companies with profits. He therefore labeled the note as an unreliable basis for policy and believed that bogus self-employment should be addressed directly. Finally, he urged academics, journalists, and politicians to respect the facts when it came to entrepreneurs and risk-takers. #Vennootschapsbelasting #Economie #Belastingen (translated)
