La taxe Zucman mérite mieux que des invectives. Pour des raisons d’économie politique, alors que la France fait face à un ajustement budgétaire de très grande ampleur. Et parce qu’elle permet d’adapter le système fiscal aux transformations de l’économie. www.liberation.fr/idees-et-deb...
Taxe Zucman : il serait prudent de retenir, dans un premier temps, un taux de 1 %, par Jean Pisani-Ferry
Gage d’une meilleure répartition, elle permettrait d’atténuer la sous-taxation des ultrariches et de moderniser le système fiscal, plaide l’économiste Jean Pisani-Ferry.

Ce que demandent les pétitionnaires, en France, comme en Belgique, c’est un nouveau contrat entre le monde agricole et la société basé sur le dialogue et le respect.

Loi Duplomb: le débat français sur l'acétamipride rejoint l'inquiétude des Belges autour des PFAS
La loi Duplomb fait des remous en dehors de France. Le Conseil constitutionnel a censuré, jeudi 7 août, la disposition la plus controversée de cette loi agricole, qui prévoyait de réautoriser des pesticides néonicotinoïdes toxiques pour l'environnement et la santé, comme l'acétamipride. Un débat qui a eu des échos en Belgique, où l'acétamipride est utilisée par des producteurs de betteraves à sucre. Interview avec Philippe Baret, agronome et professeur à l'université de Louvain.

Le plus gros incendie de l’été en France a parcouru 16 000 hectares, selon la préfecture de l’Aude, qui recense un mort et neuf blessés. « L’événement est lié au changement climatique et à la sécheresse », a rappelé le premier ministre, selon qui le gouvernement a mobilisé « tous les moyens nécessaires », à savoir 2 150 pompiers et 600 véhicules.

OPINION: Bringing Ukraine into the fold of the EU doesn’t mean bringing the war closer, it means pushing the bloc’s weight and financial power eastward to the actual front line.
On the plight of the unbombed farmers of Eastern Europe
Farmers are, understandably, demanding safeguards and compensation. The efficient and fair way to achieve that is by accepting Ukraine as a full EU member.

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.

1/ The EU Commission proposes a budget 2028-2034 that is around €580bn higher than its precursor. The increase is a bit less enormous considering that NGEU repayments will already consume €168bn. However, there is still quite some additional spending in there, mainly going to the new Pillar II:
