Tax The Rich (www.tax-the-rich.eu)

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

Where does an EU Citizens’ Initiative progresses to after reaching the threshold?

It obliges the Commission to propose a Directive or Regulation. Please have a look at the wikipedia page for further information.
