#OTD 1936, a fascist coup began against democracy in Spain.
Today, we remember those who - from all over the world - came together in International Brigades to defend freedom & solidarity.
Their courage still inspires us to continue the fight for a better world.

Why is the European Commission pushing countries to weaken tax transparency requirements?
"In the greatest secrecy, the Commission asks member states to apply minimum transparency rules.
Who has given you this mandate?" @ManonAubryFr asks @McGuinnessEU.

Wealth concentration stems mostly from family inheritance, financial speculation, rent & resource expropriation, tax dodging and building enough political clout to ensure market power.
It's a scandal.

As well as exacerbating inequality, such tax wars do nothing for the real economy & end up biting us all in the ass.
