We need to stop discussing individuals. Personnel disputes are the guarantee of no longer being elected and also no longer being seen as credible. If it were up to Schnieder, personnel disputes should belong to the past: "We need to stop discussing individuals. Personnel disputes are the guarantee of no longer being elected and also no longer being seen as credible." #Stromsteuer #CDU #Rentenreform (translated)

Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that the Minister of Budget had openly stated that he had wasted people's money for years without any consequences. He claimed that the deficits in the past five years had been greater than during the pandemic and that the deficit for the coming year would still amount to 1 billion euros. He also pointed to a subordinated loan, the interest costs of which he claimed alone amounted to 1 billion euros. Vande Reyde further wrote that there were no concrete plans to downsize the state apparatus. According to him, politicians who opposed a new tax increase were labeled as the wrongdoers and as "irresponsible." #begroting #tekort #politiek (translated)

He hopes that this embarrassing spectacle, in his view, will come to an end soon. #Politik #CDU #Korruption (translated)

Madelon Vos wrote that entrepreneurs, according to the CEO of DSM, needed a reliable government, but did not get one. She stated that Dutch politics trivialized the effects of the income tax in box 2 and the high rates in box 3, and that this policy severely affected entire sectors, including the Dutch crypto and precious metals sector with more than two million investors. Vos wrote that investors had to keep track of their real returns themselves, while some banks and brokers could not provide that data and the Tax Authority had not yet verified the calculations. According to her, investors would want to deduct inflation, transaction costs, currency costs, and subscription costs from that calculation. She also reported that the man who had been at the basis of the law had since advocated for the withdrawal of the amendment and the law and for a new piece of legislation. Furthermore, Vos pointed to the rising interest rates in France and the possible consequences of that for the Netherlands. She wondered if war was looming and wrote that the Netherlands was increasing pressure on Russia. https://t.co/X4T4ze43tV #ondernemen #beleggen #politiek (translated)
