On 18 December in Pakhuis de Zwijger, amazing @IndraRomgens, @amerkies, @paultang, @WouterLeenders, @v_kiezebrink will problematise the continuation of the Dutch tax haven and propose political strategies to end this parasitic exploitative regime.
Nederland nog steeds een belastingparadijs?
Volgens het meest recente rapport van @taxobservatory (@gabriel_zucman @sa_godar en vééle anderen) wel.
Onder andere hierover gaat het 18 dec. @De_Zwijger met @paultang @WouterLeenders @v_kiezebrink @amerkies

Here is my letter to @JustinTrudeau urging the Canadian government to do the right thing and give @nouraaljizawi the safety and protection she deserves.
This person is a national treasure, not a national security risk!

To achieve a fair digital transition, European regulators need to break up the excessive market power wielded by corporations like Amazon. Europe needs to sharpen its antitrust tools, revive structural solutions and put them to work @margaridasilva2

Tomorrow, EU member states will discuss options prepared by the Commission on how best to withdraw from the Energy Charter Treaty.
Indeed, a collective withdrawal is the best option to #ExitECT 👇
