I am and I admit it, a problem for those who want to do old-fashioned politics, namely to always tax more, which has brought us to the current situation, unlike countries that have lowered taxes to create more wealth. The president of the MR, Georges-Louis Bouchez, justified Saturday on social networks his party's refusal of a VAT increase and also refuted the opinion that this single issue was the cause of the deadlock in federal negotiations. #PolitiqueBelge #GeorgesLouisBouchez #BudgetFédéral (translated)

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)

Il presidente Volodymyr Zelensky ha dichiarato che la squadra negoziale ucraina negli Stati Uniti viene usata come "paravento" mentre Donald Trump stringe accordi con Vladimir Putin sulle forniture di carburante. "Ritengo che la nostra squadra venga usata semplicemente come paravento. E questo non è affatto onesto, non è affatto da partner. E secondo me, purtroppo, è una decisione debole da parte di partner forti", ha detto il presidente. Ha aggiunto che accordi di questo tipo significano soldi in più per Putin per questa guerra. Certo, uno smacco bello e buono, anche all’Europa…e poi parliamo di sanzioni!! Questo è un colpo che ha spiazzato tutti, e dimostra ancora una volta come ai cari americani non gliene freghi niente. Ricordo, tanti anni fa, un dialogo con un americano di origine egiziana, sulla via di Odessa. C’era Clinton, io tessevo le sue lodi, il tizio mi disse “ma voi credete che agli americani interessi qualcosa di qualcuno?? A loro interessa solo che la benzina costi poco!!”. Mi risuonano queste parole, dette negli anni 90. Certo, le elezioni di medio termine sono alle porte, il presidente è in calo di consensi, e si allea anche col demonio. Da adesso in poi, non so cosa succederà, che senso ha parlare di sanzioni europee, se poi gli americani sdoganano il petrolio russo??

Alessandro Orsini stated that Europe depended on Russia for energy supplies and described as humiliating the announcement, attributed to Donald Trump, of an agreement with Vladimir Putin for the supply of over 300,000 tons of diesel, which would lower prices. Citing the Corriere della Sera, he reported that Europe was facing winter with the lowest gas reserves in the last fifteen years and was purchasing more gas by ship from Russia than ever before. According to the data he provided, European storage was 72% full, compared to 83% a year earlier, while in Germany and the Netherlands it was below 60%. Orsini claimed that the agreement would give Putin more resources to strike Ukraine. Orsini recalled predicting that an attempt by NATO to defeat Russia on the battlefield would provoke a more intense Russian response against Ukraine and a severe economic crisis for Europe and Italy. He said that the prediction, made on February 24, 2022, had not been believed and that subsequent events had confirmed it. He also announced his participation that evening in the program *Accordi e Disaccordi* and the presentation, on October 17, at the Feltrinelli in Largo Argentina in Rome with Luca Sommi, of his book *Nato, l’espansione verso la Russia*. He described the volume as a historical reconstruction of NATO's enlargement towards Russia, from the promises to Gorbachev during the negotiations for German reunification to the war in Ukraine. The thesis of the book, he explained, connected the documentary origins of tensions between NATO and Russia to the contradiction between Article 5 and the minutes attached to the Treaty on the Final Settlement of Germany of September 12, 1990. https://t.co/2KWZ8kSEG9 #Russia #Europa #Gas (translated)

Virna wrote that Daniele Capezzone had responded to Evelyne Sukali, a cultural mediator, and then had clashed with Mohamed, a second-generation young man of Algerian origin, whom he called arrogant. According to Virna, Capezzone had asked him to address him using the formal "lei," noting that they were neither brothers nor had studied together. He also said that many Italian families struggled to make ends meet and that no one would resort to mugging, robbing, or harming others for that reason. Virna expressed appreciation for Capezzone and applauded him. #DrittoeRovescio #DrittoeRovescio #Cultura #Inclusione (translated)
