Mr President, I should like to start by wishing my fellow countrymen the very best for 25 March.
The capitalist crisis has resulted in a spiralling deterioration in the living standards of the workers. At the same time, it has given capital an opportunity to step up the application of anti-labour policy choices. Under state terrorism of the workers, the plutocracy started a real war against fundamental wage and social rights, in a bid to increase the profits of capital.
The basic pillar of the anti-grassroots policy being exercised by the European Union and the governments of the Member States is the ECB. It is a harsh policy exercised solely on the basis of the criterion of the profitability of capital. The constant calls since it was founded for wages to be cut and capitalist restructurings to be speeded up found fertile soil in the capitalist crisis.
The ECB has acted as the bourgeois assistant of the plutocracy in shifting the burden of the crisis on to the workers’ shoulders. It has channelled over EUR 1 trillion to the banks and monopoly groups. Today, however, it is calling on the workers to pay for the damage and to repay that money.
That is why the anti-imperialist fight needs to be stepped up, the fight to get out of the European Union, the fight for people power and a people’s economy, the fight for socialism."@en1
