"The statement that Mr Barroso has just made as President-designate of the Commission is a reaffirmation of the basic pillars of the European Union that we know. It also confirms the capitalist, federalist and militarist integration of Europe enshrined in the Treaties of Maastricht and Nice, which the draft Treaty of Lisbon wishes to take even further.
If there were any doubt, his statements are there on the importance of the draft Treaty of Lisbon. They come, in fact, after the anti-democratic pressure exerted by European leaders – which he observed – on the Irish people, who are being forced to have a new referendum, to be held on 2 October.
Even if he now tries to promise to remedy the serious attacks on social and workers’ rights that the European Commission, of which he is still the President, carried out in the previous term of office, he has never got to the bottom of those issues or the causes of the current crisis of capitalism that we are experiencing. In practice, what he is proposing is to carry on with the same policy that prioritises free competition, militarism and the interests of economic and financial groups, particularly those of the most powerful countries, as was clear when he said we are the champions of globalisation."@en1
