I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this (as this seems to be a Portuguese language only community), but Portugal is trailing behind with only 3.5% of the 14.805 Portuguese signatures necessary. If there is a place better for this feel free to pint me to it (or crosspost it there yourself)

If the petition reaches 1 million signatures, the European Commission is legally required to at least introduce it as a proposed law.

... That is if you are a citizen of the European Union. If the petition reaches 1 million signatures, the European Commission (basically the government of the EU) is legally required to at least introduce it as a proposed law.

Tax The Rich

A big plea to you to support "Tax-the-Rich". The aim is to tax the super-rich in order to finance more climate protection. If this EU citizens' initiative reaches certain thresholds, it must be scrutinised. A powerful tool if it is used.

"An EU Citizens' Initiative does not have to reach the threshold in all countries, only in 7 out of 27"

The closest: France 188% 🇩🇰 87% 🇩🇪 80% Belgium 64% 🇮🇹 44% Netherlands 32% Slovenia 26%

Deadline 9.10.24

The contribution would be used to combat climate change and inequality and would help to ensure that European citizens pay their fair share towards achieving these objectives.

The minimum threshold of signatories is only required a quarter of the EU countries, so in 7 of 27. France is already at 188% of the required threshold, Denmark at 88% and Germany at 80%

Grosse Bitte an euch "Tax-the-Rich" zu unterstützen. Es gilt Superreiche zu besteuern um mehr Klimaschutz zu finanzieren. Wenn diese EU-Bürgerinitiative bestimmte Schwellenwerte erreicht, muss sie geprüft werden. Ein mächtiges Tool, wenn es genutzt wird.

Deparei-me recentemente com esta Iniciativa de Cidadania Europeia (o mecanismo oficial da UE para petições públicas) intitulada “Tax the Rich”, que propõe ao Parlamento Europeu que discuta a implementação de um imposto sobre grandes fortunas ao nível europeu. Um dos promotores da iniciativa é o próprio Thomas Piketty.

Segundo as estatísticas da petição, as assinaturas em Portugal ainda estão bastante abaixo das necessárias. Se acharem interessante a ideia, assinem para dar apoio!
