Headlines called it an approval, and technically it was. But the vote covered one amendment during the first reading of the 2027 finance bill, only 35 of the Assembly’s 577 deputies took part, and the government opposed it. Nothing here is law.
What? That’s beyond stupid lol, tax the billionaires
That’s what they’re doing though! They’re taxing the companies who send data to French people, not the French people. Corporations are going to be taxed, not people.
It will probably be passed on to normal people but who cares?
That’s 100 times what it costs.
Talking about tone deaf.
Ah yes, the great “fix french budget plan”
