The press brief counted several petitions and their results: the one against CNews, which it described as a far-right channel that had been subject to repeated sanctions, had gathered 1,066,909 signatures before being buried. The petition against the "license to kill" law for the police had obtained 732,086 signatures and had also been buried. According to the author, the petition against the Duplomb law, signed by 2,131,368 people, had been circumvented, while the one against the Yadan law, which had 707,957 signatures, had been buried. He believed that elections no longer allowed for changes in political orientations, as the last legislative elections had shown. He also felt that the massive demonstrations organized by the unions had been ineffective in recent years, particularly regarding pensions, and that petitions were now useless. He wondered how the French could still make their voices heard. #France #politique #pétitions (translated)

How does the sovereignty of the people express itself? Legally through voting, demonstrations, strikes, petitions. Illegally through revolt. All legal forms are despised. The results of the 2024 legislative elections: trash. Petitions: trash. Strikes & demonstrations? Batons. So what is left? (translated)

If you visit the British Library you will see it is chock full of people making use of a free space to work, learn and research. It’s an incubator of scholarship. London already has plenty of fancy commercial co-working spaces but nothing else like the BL. www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/st...

The author claimed that protesters were trying to silence CNEWS through violence, while others opposed it through petitions. He believed that both groups rejected freedom of expression and would be defeated, adding that democracy would prevail over what he called red fascism. #LibertéDExpression #Démocratie #Fascisme #FR (translated)

The petition demanding the removal of the CNews channel has recently surpassed 550,000 signatures, but its chances of success remain low due to the limitations of the power of petitions in France and the process required to withdraw a broadcasting frequency. #CNews #libertédepresse #pétition (translated)

The author wrote that Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif, leader of the Druze community in Israel, had described a “shameful silence” over the massacre of Druze in Syria. The author said they had met Tarif, who claimed that people in Europe were not taking to the streets, signing petitions or hanging posters in support of the Druze, and that the community was alone. https://t.co/KqsgjV7FGD #Druze #Syria #HumanRights #SY #IL #EU

Tech stocks reported that the one-year holding period for tax-free private sales on precious metals like gold and silver could be eliminated in the future. During a hearing of the petitions committee regarding the crypto holding period, the petitioners argued that taxing Bitcoin while granting tax exemption for physical gold violates the constitutional principle of equality. Subsequently, a representative of the Federal Ministry of Finance fundamentally questioned the tax exemption and confirmed that the ministry is examining the abolition of the holding period for precious metals. According to Tech stocks, there is currently no draft legislation. The author accused the state of boundless greed, wrote that citizens are denied the ability to save and build wealth, and blamed the SPD for plundering Germany. #Edelmetalle #Gold #Steuern (translated)

RobynHD stated that the holding period for crypto was a topic in the petition committee of the Bundestag. A petition to maintain it was supported by 44,439 people. According to RobynHD, Nicole Nowak and tax expert Ingo Heuel pointed out a contradiction: the planned reform could burden long-term savers more, while active traders could benefit tax-wise. According to RobynHD, the Ministry of Finance initially promised annual tax revenues of 160 million euros and about 350 million euros by 2035. Additional administrative costs were not taken into account. The data basis for the partially mentioned billions was criticized significantly. RobynHD noted that there was no convincing explanation for why the holding period for crypto should be abolished while it should remain for gold. Representatives of the Federal Ministry of Finance mentioned a possible extension to gold and other economic goods instead. The cabinet was to discuss the draft on October 14; nothing had been decided yet, RobynHD wrote. https://t.co/NCHOvHC2ih #Krypto #Steuern #Bundestag (translated)

Tech stocks outlined a timeline for a possible abolition of the holding period for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies: On October 12, a petition hearing is scheduled, on October 14 a cabinet decision. The first reading in the Bundestag is to take place in mid-November, the discussion in the finance committee at the end of November, and the second and third readings in mid-December. For December 18, Tech stocks mentioned a vote in the Bundesrat; as of January 1, the amendment could come into effect if the CDU/CSU agrees. Tech stocks accused the Union of betraying its supporters again and estimated the chances of the lifting of the holding period, despite resistance within the Union, at 60 to 70 percent. #Bitcoin #Kryptowährung #Blockchain (translated)
