Jurgen Verstrepen wondered whether the government was in crisis. He wrote that someone who opposed a VAT increase but was in favor of more government savings was, in his opinion, harshly criticized instead of being applauded. He also noted that during the budget discussions, attention was given to several Palestinian students who could not fly here. #politiek #crisis #begroting (translated)
Mirjam152 challenged the reasoning that a lower VAT rate cost the government a lot of money. She compared it to the income a landlord misses out on by asking for a lower rent and sarcastically suggested that the VAT should then be raised to 30 percent and inheritance and gift taxes to 100 percent. According to her, people were already paying more than enough tax. The researchers defended a higher VAT rate for, among others, hairdressers, bicycle mechanics, and plasterers with the argument that a tight labor market could make services more expensive due to insufficient staff availability. Mirjam152 called that reasoning flawed and accused the researchers of having a political agenda and pandering to the government and the cabinet. #BTW #Belastingen #Overheid (translated)
Paula described Andrej Babiš's press conference as an extraordinarily extensive rant. She wrote that he initially blamed the media for things he himself did, and then threatened the future leadership of PragueEU with a demand for cooperation. The reason he cited, according to her, was that the government approves funding for hospitals and schools. She stated that she published the entire press conference and moved its final minute to the beginning to quickly clarify why. Babiš, according to her, acted as if he were the first patient in the Czech Republic with the plague, and she ironically added that he finally understood how private schools operate. She also wrote that he directed the most attacks towards Kateřina Stojan, the Pirate Party, and the Czech Senate. In conclusion, she used a derogatory pun about his political grouping remaining in the Czech Republic permanently. #staydebil #babišjezlo #Česko #politika #ještědáme (translated)

The biggest problem is not BDW (the acronym of the Prime Minister, Bart De Wever) or BTW (VAT in Dutch) but perhaps GLB," said Mr. Prévot, paraphrasing Mr. Bouchez who was interviewed Thursday by VTM. The seriousness of the budgetary and financial situation requires that solutions be found. We must accept to make choices that are not pleasant but are necessary for the interest of the country," emphasized Mr. Prévot. We cannot exclude it but I hope that everyone today comes to the table with a constructive spirit. #NégociationsBudgétaires #MaximePrévot #GeorgesLouisBouchez (translated)
