Key Pousttchi summarized a contribution in DLF where a German teacher from Paris held the police responsible for the riots and accused them of very brutal tactics. However, the teacher attributed too few police forces to the looting; the number of demonstrators was underestimated. According to Pousttchi, the teacher experiences the students as confident, hopeful, supportive, and determined. Their demands included smaller classes, more school psychologists, the abolition of entrance exams, and better preparation of school buildings for climate change. According to him, this should be financed through contributions from very wealthy people. #ÖRR #Bildung #Schule #Ungerechtigkeit (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the abolition of tax-free property sales is being discussed again and that property owners may face permanent taxation. The Bundestag rejected a proposal from the Greens to abolish the ten-year speculation period on October 8, 2026, with 446 votes against. Nevertheless, the Finance Committee of the Bundesrat recommends a comparable amendment to Section 23 of the Income Tax Act as part of the 2027 income tax reform. According to Boeminghaus, profits from the sale of rented properties could in the future be taxable regardless of the holding period. This could also affect existing properties for which the ten-year period before the change comes into effect has not yet expired. The Bundesrat is to discuss the recommendations on October 16, 2026. Boeminghaus wrote that the change would worsen the long-term calculation for private real estate investors and eliminate a tax incentive for asset accumulation. He cited the Bundestag, the Bundesrat document 507/1/26, and KPMG Tax News/YouTube as sources. https://t.co/kqtIYMjRuG #Immobilien #Bundesrat #Einkommensteuer (translated)
