lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I feel that Porto Alegre and the initiatives which preceded it have revealed only the tip of an iceberg. It is a very complex subject which it would be impossible to analyse here, but I would like to focus on what is, in my opinion, the most interesting aspect. I feel that, after the collapse of the socialist model in Eastern Europe, we are witnessing the beginning of another collapse, the collapse of unbridled neo-capitalism which does not take account of the new factors troubling modern society. The initiatives of the Porto Alegre protesters do not, indeed, take the same approach as certain – nonetheless useful – initiatives being pursued by the Commission: rather, they are essentially opposed to a vision of life which does not take account of the fact that these two models – both relics from the nineteenth century – have become obsolete and failed and that our Europe, our world, must now search for a third way which does take certain factors into account. Nowadays, technology leads to unemployment, whereas once upon a time it created employment. Nowadays, we research ways of making life easier for certain neo-capitalist classes, for example by liberalising energy, but we do not study how to resolve the problems of the southern hemisphere. Now, the axis of history has shifted, and after 50 years of war between east and west, we are currently experiencing a world crisis revolving around north-south relations. Therefore, if we are to take heed of the message of the Porto Alegre protesters, we must restore the dreams, values and points of reference to Europe, and, above all, we must endow it once again with an awareness of how complex our society is and the ability to find the most modern solution, the most modern way forward for our society between two models which are both limited and inappropriate."@en1
