"The social record of your Europe is a resounding failure. In France, dreadful figures have just come out: poverty has risen by 15% in two years, the number of poor workers has increased dramatically, and the number of highly indebted households, whose resources have for a long time been insufficient to cover day-to-day living costs, has grown exponentially as a result. Furthermore, we are just at the start of this profound crisis.
You urge citizens to be ‘open to change’ when, for workers, change equals losing their jobs and the certainty that they will not find new ones, thanks to your policies. You speak of ‘social’ whilst the Court of Justice tramples over workers’ rights in the name of competition and the freedom to provide services. You add in flexibility, when this is merely Eurospeak for ‘insecurity’. You even pretend to pay special attention to women and mothers, when your idiotic ‘gender’ policy results in the loss of their specific social rights, such as the ones they used to have in France in the areas of retirement and night work.
It is not a renewal of the social agenda that is needed, but a thorough change of your perverse system."@en1
