This report is on the proposal for a directive on requirements for budgetary frameworks of the Member States, and constitutes one of the most serious attacks on their sovereignty.
Budgetary choices, which are key to determining the path each country will follow, according to its specific characteristics, its interests and the will of its people, are under threat. The situation is particularly serious for the most vulnerable economies of the euro area, which are considered to have ‘excessive deficits’ and could be subjected to severe sanctions. This directive is part of the legislative package on so-called ‘economic governance’, which is made up of six legislative texts, and which is a veritable attack on social and labour rights, as well as democracy itself.
The intention of this legislative package is an unprecedented attack on the rights of the national parliaments and, in Portugal, on the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic itself. From now on, the members of the national parliaments will be governed by guidelines from the European Union on their countries’ budgets. These guidelines are increasingly neoliberal and determined, essentially, by the directorate of powers that hold the majority of votes in the Council and European Parliament. Our only option is to vote against."@en1
