UFE Los Angeles discusses taxation, pensions and education

Return can be synonymous with balance sheet. The Union of French Abroad (UFE) in Los Angeles is holding a champagne and "vegan" cocktail party at LaDurée Beverly Hills on October 30 at 6:30 pm. It will allow the president of the association, Cynthia Hajjar, and Patrick Caraco, vice-president of the Consular Council, to take stock of the past week at the Assembly of French Abroad (AFE) in Paris.

Several topics sensitive to the French from abroad were treated there. And especially taxation, with the demand for convergence of the tax rates of non-residents on those of residents; but also the demand for tax cuts for the less well-off pensioners. There was also talk of teaching. "New criteria will facilitate the certification of schools that apply, the amount allocated to scholarships will be saved, the reform of the baccalaureate will be implemented", especially lists Cynthia Hajjar. She will also talk about the budget reserved for the association and the creation of positions during the cocktail party.

This meeting will also be the opportunity to present Nathalie Soirat, Assistant General Consul to L.A. since late August.
