Prime Minister,

How can the EU ensure security and the rule of law, when Member States, including the one you lead, function as laundromats to kleptocrats, oligarchs, corrupt and criminals from around the world? According to Europol, your country accounts for 1/4 of moneylaundering suspicious transactions reported, most related to drug trafficking.

A Holanda é o principal paraíso fiscal para os evasores do meu país, Portugal. A sua desculpa de que a fiscalidade é matéria de soberania nacional não serve de cobertura ao papel holandês na corrida para o fundo na fiscalidade na UE que põe em causa a solidariedade, o Mercado Único, as regras de concorrência, a justica, boa governação e a segurança de todos.

(Translation: The Netherlands is the main tax haven for tax evaders from my country, Portugal. Your excuse that taxes remain in national realm cannot cover up for the Dutch role in the race to the bottom on taxation in the EU, undermining solidarity, the single market, competition rules, fairness, good governance and basic security for all.)

What is your position on CCCTB?
Why delay the VAT reform?
And a EU tax on digital platforms, financial transactions, polluting industries?
Why obstruct these ways to increase EU own resources and favor economic convergence and political cohesion in the Eurozone and the EU?
