The essential element in this debate has once again been omitted: in other words, there must be a break with existing policies which are the main cause of the current crises. However, it was interesting yesterday to listen to the great defenders of neoliberalism now admitting that something must change, but only in terms of ‘recasting capitalism’, as indicated by President Sarkozy. This is why one of their priorities is the development of immigration policy, in particular through the return directive, which fails to respect fundamental human rights and which treats illegal immigrants as if they were criminals and not people escaping from hunger in their countries in search of a better future for themselves and their families.
Increasing disregard for social issues continues to be one of the main aspects of their policies. To tackle the financial crisis, they have mobilised incalculable resources and political will. However, with regard to the social situation and the crisis due to the fall in purchasing power, increased poverty, unemployment and precarious and poorly paid work, the resources and political will required are still lacking. In fact, what they are proposing will tend to worsen the social situation and the inequalities in the distribution of wealth."@en1
