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)

Alain Soral declared that he had been sentenced on appeal to an additional 100 days in prison or to 45,000 euros of fines for "harm to the fundamental interests of the Nation." He linked this conviction to his public accusations of fraud and poisoning against Buzyn-Lévy in the Covid case, and claimed that American justice was vindicating him. He also stated that the decision had been made in the name of the French people and concluded by proclaiming his support for the Republic and for France. #Justice #LibertéDExpression #France (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)

Cerfia indicated that the National Assembly had unanimously adopted a measure aimed at making the non-consensual sending of sexual images a specific offense, punishable by one year in prison and a fine of 15,000 euros.

Bally Bagayoko explained that his group, the majority "Together Let's Find Hope," abstained during the municipal council on September 24, 2026, on a wish put forward by the Socialist, Ecologist, and Citizen group against female genital mutilation and excision. He stated that his group supported the measures in the text against excision, notably the strengthening of state resources for school medicine, medical follow-up, and prevention. He also reminded that nearly 500 patients were followed each year in the municipality and praised the work of the Women's House, Delafontaine Hospital, and various associations. According to him, his group had requested the withdrawal of the wish's calls for the rapid adoption of a comprehensive law against gender-based and sexual violence (GBSV), as the bill had been significantly amended in committee at the National Assembly during the week of the council and still needed further amendments. Bagayoko stated that his group could therefore not support a text whose final content was uncertain and on which they had reservations. He added that the opposition elected officials still present had refused the proposed amendments, while most had left the session before its conclusion. His group had abstained, he specified, while allowing the wish to be adopted. He finally affirmed that his determination to fight against excision in the municipality and beyond remained unwavering. #Excision #DroitsDesFemmes #LutteContreLesMutilations (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."

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)
