In 2024, France counted 13,335 millionaires who paid ZERO income tax.

This is yet another example of why we need a UN Tax Convention to fix global tax rules and finally make the super-rich pay their fair share, so there is real money for public services, climate action, and a green transition, instead of more loopholes for extreme wealth.

@greenpeace Uncompensated nationalization would also work in many cases.

@greenpeace

That's the way it should be, a nice utopia. But as things are, that's not for tomorrow...

The money for climate action, nature protection and public goods is there, it’s just in the wrong hands.

It's time to #TaxTheSuperRich.

Tax the super-rich

Are you done watching billionaires hoard wealth and power while the world drowns in growing inequality and climate chaos?

@greenpeace We already had an official EU petition for #TaxTheRich and the result was that it didn't reach enough signatures, mostly because people prefer to sign on platforms that are not at all binding for politicians, easy to click. Try to install official petitions to

➡️ the @EUCommission https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/_en

➡️ the EU parliament https://www.europarl.europa.eu/petitions/en/home

➡️ Petitions in France: https://petitions.assemblee-nationale.fr/

Home | PETI | Committees | European Parliament

Main page of the Petitions Portal. General information, most recently uploaded petitions and further links to procedural pages. Further links to the European Parliament website.
