".
The joint resolution, which brings together the Left and the Right in this House in a touching display of unanimity and deals with relations between the European Union and Mercosur, the common market involving four Latin American countries, including Brazil and Argentina, intends, amongst other things, "to re-examine and resolve the four countries’ external debt problem" at a time when Argentina’s bankruptcy is spreading to Uruguay and is currently threatening Brazil.
The resolution urges the European Union to give Mercosur financial support. Even amended with vague promises of aid for various “economic solidarity initiatives” which the population has had to take in order to survive, the resolution’s principle plea is for Mercosur to remain a windfall for European companies whose exports have tripled in five years and which are the main partners of Mercosur. European companies would love to maintain their small presence in the backyard of the United States in this way.
It is precisely the implementation of this predatory policy, however, increasingly favourable to capitalist groups, both American and European, and from which the wealthy classes of Latin America have profited, which has plunged the majority of the population into misery and unemployment. Pursuing this policy of plunder can only worsen their misery. That is why we have voted against this resolution."@en1
