Global minimum tax: Orban remains deaf to Macron's arguments

The meeting between the Head of State and Viktor Orban did not allow the Hungarian veto to be lifted on the minimum tax on large companies, decided at the OECD. En the margins of the European summit, Emmanuel Macron wanted to organize a bilateral meeting with Viktor Orban to try to unblock a file that is close to his heart: the minimum tax on multinationals (15%), decided within the framework of the OECD . This is one of the rare files, with the directive on digital evidence, on which the French presidency of the EU fails to fulfill its objectives. However, it is not for lack of having spent political capital for five years. But Viktor Orban remains insensitive to the arguments of the French president. The Hungarian leader had certainly approved this tax at the OECD, but he argues that the Hungarian National Assembly, resulting from the April elections , is no longer in phase with this project. https://startupmatcher.com/p/elancecpsulas https://www.pianobook.co.uk/profile/elancepe/ htt

Colorado, already crowned in 1996 and 2001, dominated the series 4-2 and above all put an end to the reign of Tampa Bay, which had been flying over the NHL since the 2019-20 season thanks in particular to its two Russians, the prolific striker Nikita Hucherov and goalkeeper Andri Vasilevskiy.
