"Mr President, the mid-term review of the Lisbon strategy does not set new objectives; it repositions so that it can become more competitive with the United States. It calls for closer cooperation and coordination between governments and for them to be monitored, in order to overcome delays caused by their opposition. Consequently, new storms against grass-roots incomes and other grass-roots achievements are brewing at the spring Council. This is guaranteed by the final outcome of the first five years' application of the Lisbon strategy, with increased poverty, unemployment, inequality, uncertainty for workers and greater wealth for the oligarchy.
The leaders of the Member States will decide to proceed more aggressively and at a faster pace in making industrial relations more flexible, in cutting workers' incomes and grass-roots rights, with a new insurance system, with full liberalisation of the market and with across-the-board privatisations. At the same time, they will take decisions which will speed up the political and military presence of the European Union in more countries and they will seal the joint front of the United States and the European Union in the war against the peoples. These are measures which reduce social and employment rights in order to increase the profitability of European capital.
This is the mediaeval working environment which they are preparing, this is the policy of the European Union and its parties. They are calling on the workers to make sacrifices in order to make their lives worse. However, there are also sacrifices with the prospect of a better life, by which I mean the organised fight against the barbarity and exploitation of the European Union and the governments."@en1
