"The increasing dismissal by the European institutions of the social impact of the acceleration of neoliberalism is alarming. Not only does this phenomenon keep the rates of unemployment, poverty and social exclusion high, it also increases unstable, poorly paid work. What is more, attempts are being made to bring back 'flexicurity', which obliges workers to relinquish their fundamental rights and to accept increasingly unstable work.
The measures being implemented and others being put forward, such as the liberalisation and deregulation of services and the dismantling of public services, are trampling the concept of the European social model underfoot, and we are vehemently opposed to this. There have been increasing protests against these policies, as evidenced by the huge demonstration in Lisbon on 12 October organised by the CGTP (General Confederation of Portuguese Workers). Some 100 000 workers took part, making it the biggest demonstration since the 1980s. Do you not think that the time has come to take on board their justified grievances?"@en1
