A #ceasefire is not a loophole.

It can't be turned on an off at will. Since the ceasefire agreement, Israel has killed over 250 Palestinians.

We need a sustained ceasefire, justice and real accountability for the genocide.

Wealth inequality in Europe keeps rising. A main reason is that income from wealth is taxed much lighter than wages, creating a tax system that is highly regressive at the top. This means that billionaires across Europe have lower taxes rates than normal working people.
