"The worst thing that can happen during an economic crisis is for a political crisis to come on top of it. This is what is happening in Romania, experiencing the sharpest economic decline in Europe which is emerging from the crisis.
Austerity measures of unprecedented severity are being implemented by a government which is indifferent to the hardships endured by millions of Romanians, virtually doomed to suffer from cold and hunger and being unable to buy medicines. The social protests which we have been seeing recently reflect the mood of citizens in despair at the prospect of being forced to face the harsh winter conditions with dramatically reduced incomes. At the same time, shocking violations are taking place of the right to free expression, as has already been mentioned this evening during the plenary debate in this House.
The fraudulent enforcement of a pensions law targeted at the poorest section of the population forces me to ask Europe’s institutions to focus the attention required on the absolute crisis which Romania is engulfed in and to rebuff the anti-democratic abuses in this country."@en1
