"Madam President, this report states that the European Union can make a significant contribution to the process of globalisation by developing its social model and promoting it internationally. Yet, with 20 million unemployed people in Europe, what social model are you talking about? The Lisbon process, which is a failure? The debt of those Member States that are on the verge of bankruptcy? Social precarity, crushing taxation and the new type of poverty of Europe’s Fourth World? Do you believe that all of this might constitute a social model that we can export? If you want to have an accurate view of the social dimension of globalisation, I invite you to go and be a tourist in the 300 French towns that, for the last 18 days, have been the scenes of social uprisings, ethnic riots and anti-French hatred, with burning cars and destroyed schools, creches, gymnasiums and hospitals, and all this without mentioning the systematic and widespread attacks on fire fighters and law enforcement officers. You will thus assess the tangible and visible consequences of the extreme ultraliberal, ultra-internationalist and ultra-immigrationist economic policy carried out for the past 25 years by the European institutions and the Member States, with France at the helm. Your social model of integration is, in fact, an out-and-out model of disintegration: economic and industrial disintegration, social disintegration, cultural disintegration and institutional disintegration. In addition to businesses relocating to countries with low social costs linked to production, the populations of poor countries are relocating to countries with high levels of social protection. Widespread social dumping brought about by globalisation is just what is needed economically to bring about social decline. Your economic globalisation is, in fact, globalisation of social dumping and of migration. Foreign populations are entering Europe en masse, while businesses are leaving Europe en masse. Today we have to tolerate not only the rioters in our suburbs, but also the economic looters plundering our industries, combined with the political and institutional bandits pillaging our national identities, our national units, our sovereignties and our values of civilisation. Enforced economic and migratory globalisation will end up imposing on the people of Europe a multi-community and multi-ethnic society, positive discrimination, obligatory racial mixing and a level of social protection equal to that of Communist China. That model is clearly not ours, and it is crucial today to defuse that ticking timebomb."@en1
