Regarding Egypt, he noted that Copts faced constant pressure and that Muslim converts were jailed; he added that churches did not dare to receive them because, he claimed, the State prohibited conversion.

Matthieu Pigasse presented a negative assessment of ten years of Macronism. According to IMF figures published the day of his message, France was expected to register growth of 0.4% in 2026, among the lowest in the world, he wrote. He felt that Emmanuel Macron and his government had to answer for a policy that, in his view, had left the country fractured, public services weakened, poverty and inequality at historic levels, as well as a youth worried about their future. He also labeled the promise of “trickle-down” as a lie. Pigasse believed that the radical right and Marine Le Pen were proposing an economic policy similar to that of Macronism, but accompanied, in his view, by hatred. He called for another policy driven by a radical left in government and for massive investments in education, health, industry, and ecological transition. To finance these priorities, he proposed advocating at the European level for monetary creation dedicated to public investment and converting public debts held by the Eurosystem into perpetual debts at zero interest rate. He also advocated for increases in low wages, a strengthening of wage negotiations, and tying public aid to commitments on employment and remuneration. Finally, he called for greater contributions from large fortunes and capital income to fund common goods. According to him, growth should benefit workers and those neglected by the system, with the goal of better-shared wealth and rebuilt public services. #Macronisme #France #Croissance (translated)

Dividend King provided an update on the amendments concerning investors and entrepreneurs reviewed by the finance committee as part of the 2027 budget. He indicated that nearly all proposals aimed at increasing the flat tax had been rejected, such as the proposals to abolish the single flat-rate tax. A final amendment was supposed to be submitted for a vote that very day, but it had little chance of being adopted. According to his report, the committee had rejected all amendments aimed at tightening the Exit Tax, particularly those seeking to extend its duration from 2 to 15 years. However, it had adopted proposals to include portfolios of cryptocurrencies exceeding €800,000 in this scheme, to tax capital gains realized during conversions into stablecoins, and to impose a declaration to the tax authorities for self-hosted crypto portfolios of at least €100,000. Failure to declare could result in a fine of up to €10,000, he specified. Dividend King also stated that an amendment aimed at extending the 2% tax on holdings to financial investments had been withdrawn and that amendment I-CF1440, which proposed to abolish the tax on certain non-professional assets of wealth management holdings, had not been supported. He added that the amendment on contribution-disposition put forward by the general budget rapporteur, Philippe Juvin, had been adopted. This included stricter controls on donations of holding shares and changes to the taxation deferral regime, with transitional provisions for contributions made before October 7, 2026. The author believed that cryptocurrency holders were, at this stage, the main losers. He emphasized, however, that these results only concerned the finance committee and that the amendments still needed to be examined in a public session. He also reminded that amendments rejected in committee could return during debates and that the government could have its original version of the budget adopted through Article 49.3 or through ordinances. #Budget2027 #Cryptomonnaies #Finances (translated)
