@AECID_es @Anton_leis Anton Leis Garcia: Among decreases in ODA, the govt. of Spain has increased it by 17% committing to meet the 0.7%. It can be done. Global solidarity is there, despite the current geopolitics. Investing in cooperation. #FFD

Marcella Favretto @ohchr There is an artificial separation between economic decisions & Human Rights. We have the norms, we just need to connect them to #FFD We need a Human Rights Economy #HRE in the #FFD4Sevilla
Aminata Toure @aminatatoureklk speaking at the #FFD4 Debt reform requires: Sovereignty, responsibility, transparency, impartiality, inclusive. The IMF cannot dictate how much a country can spend on health & education.

At the closing of #financeincommon2025 @ChristelleKalhoue @ForusPlatform Reminded MDBs & PDBs of the need to be democratic, transparent & accountable. They need to be guided by #HumanRights, dignity & climate sustainability in their decisions.
@AminaJMohammed: We need solidarity for development & Reform the IFA to level the playing field, so that LIC can borrow & access investment on an equal footing. Developing countries need to be at the driver's seat. #financeincommon2025
Great speech by @AminaJMohammed: In a time of Moral crisis, we need to decide which world we want to embrace, one where everyone can live with dignity. #financeincommon2025

@chenaimukumba: The current global tax system isn't fit for purpose. Africa & the GS need to participate in decision making on an equal basis & push for their interests, ensuring their choices are heard loud & clear. #TaxThePower @Taxj
@Gabriel We can choose tax coordination instead of competition. Competition is not an unavoidable law of nature. Taxing billionaires is more important than ever #TaxThePower #TaxTheRich
🚨Historic Moment 🚨
#TaxJustice at the @Vatican comes at a critical time. The super-rich and tech giants are reshaping policy, hoarding wealth while public services crumble.

@DanielBertossa: #TaxJustice promotes the voice of the voiceless. It's a matter of morality & Human Rights. Tax collectors are like bees, spreading the pollen (wealth) from flower to flower (redistribution, redressing inequalities). #TaxThePower
@abigaildisney: Solidarity is missing when the wealthiest promote grotesque inequality & undermine democracy, promoting a false narrative of meritocracy & taxation as stifling business or creativity. #TaxThePower #TaxTheRich @PatrioticMills

Helen Alford: Greed & selfishness have been institutionalised. We need a renewed solidarity based on debt cancellation & #TaxJustice #TaxTheRich #TaxThePower @icrict
@JosephEStiglitz "globalisation has preserved neocolonial patterns of trade". Fair taxation is not only a matter of economic efficiency but also of morality. #TaxThePower
