".
We are extremely concerned to witness this upsurge in the forces of the far right in Europe, especially in Austria, Germany, France, Belgium and Italy. It is crucial that we should discuss the underlying causes of this and that we should adopt measures to combat them.
An increase in social inequality, unemployment and the problems of poverty and social exclusion creates suspicion amongst the general public and conditions which favour far-right populism. In view of this, it is vital that the European institutions should adopt the measures necessary to prevent the rise of racist and xenophobic ideologies. This requires a sea change in the socio-economic policies of neo-liberal capitalism and that priority be given to creating quality jobs which give rights to employees. This also requires policies which strengthen participatory democracy and which educate the general public, particularly about the values of democracy and solidarity.
Just as we condemn and repudiate the ideas and actions of the far right, we also wish to express our solidarity with the Austrian people. We support all forces fighting for greater democracy and against racism and xenophobia."@en1
