Tax The Rich (www.tax-the-rich.eu)
submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

A big plea to you to support "Tax-the-Rich". The aim is to tax the super-rich in order to finance more climate protection. If this EU citizens' initiative reaches certain thresholds, it must be scrutinised. A powerful tool if it is used.

"An EU Citizens' Initiative does not have to reach the threshold in all countries, only in 7 out of 27"

The closest:

France 188%

🇩🇰 87%

🇩🇪 80%

Belgium 64%

🇮🇹 44%

Netherlands 32%

Slovenia 26%

Deadline 9.10.24

They know quite well how to step up to the rich and powerful. It’s tradition. We should take them as an example!

Where does an EU Citizens’ Initiative progresses to after reaching the threshold?

It obliges the Commission to propose a Directive or Regulation. Please have a look at the wikipedia page for further information.
