"Madam President, a black cloud, which is getting thicker and thicker, has been spreading over Europe recently. The electoral rise of extreme right-wing fanatical, xenophobic and often racist factions and parties has marked political developments in numerous Member States, even Sweden. It is a sign that we cannot ignore.
The unprecedented economic crisis and the growing immigration problem are combining to form a toxic cocktail which feeds extremes and excesses. This is unquestionably an extremely complex problem which will be hard to resolve.
That is why the European centre right and social democrat parties in the European Parliament, the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and the socialists, have a serious responsibility and mission: to disperse the cloud before it brings a storm. They must exhaust the potential for agreement and coordination, so that we can take more effective action to address specific problems, such as immigration, which require a team effort. Here in the European Parliament, we need to take a strong new joint initiative against xenophobia and racism in crisis-ridden Europe."@en1
