Re @ManonAubryFr @sirarego @papadimoulis @nvillumsen @JPimentaLopes @joseggusmao @botengam @emmanuelmaurel @DFIeurope @IUEuropa @IzquierdaUnida 🤑 We're in the middle of a cost of greed crisis.
✊ Tax justice demands EU action now more than ever, as massive inflation, driven by obscene corporate profits, further increases inequality across Europe.

As of 2020, "the richest 1% reap almost 2/3 of all wealth generated."

Listen to Mick Wallace's initial assessment of today's vote on the #NatureRestorationLaw
@wallacemick
The far right couldn't kill the law.
But they have severely weakened it.
Now it's about fixing the damage in the upcoming negotiations.

This is about more than taxing the rich; it's about correcting a rigged system so that it works for everyone, not just the mega-rich & their corporations.
