Antonio Guterres: Debt is unfair, unsustainable & unaffordable. #FFD4 SPA for a debt register, principles of responsible lending & borrowing, cost of capital, & debtor club. It's a matter of Justice, not charity.

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social The fundamental flaw in our tax systems today is that they fail to tax the SuperRich. The most powerful economic actors shouldn't be allowed to pay less than the rest of the population. #TaxThePower #TaxTheRich @icrict.bsky.social @cesr.bsky.social

Last day of #UNTaxConvention negotiations. A coalition led by France, UK & Italy tried an amendment to switch decision-making to "by consensus" (=veto power). It didn't pass, 98 against v 42 in favour. @cesr.bsky.social
