"The European Parliament's ‘huge expectations’ from the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States of America in fact only concern the imperialists who, with good cause, expect their interests to be served more effectively. The people should not entertain any illusions that there will be a change of policy for their benefit. Moreover, the statements and pronouncements by the new US President himself leave no margin for doubt.
The report calls for closer and deeper cooperation between the EU and the US and ΝΑΤΟ, following the election in question. It therefore proposes the creation of a body to coordinate the foreign and security policy of the two imperialist centres (ΕU and USA) at an even higher level.
At a time when competition and antagonism are escalating between them as a result of the capitalist financial crisis, European and American imperialists are, at the same time, endeavouring to coordinate their cooperation in order to deal with grassroots opposition. That is the aim behind the call for joint and effective action to tackle ‘global challenges’, ‘defence and security questions’ and ‘regional issues’. The willingness expressed in the report to accept Guantanamo inmates in the EU, should the US so request, is a typical example.
The people must set up their own common front against the united attack on them by the EU, the USA and ΝΑΤΟ and overturn the imperialist order."@en1
