"Whether there is any need to organise these costly and utterly useless ‘European Year’ events raises questions on an overall level. With the ‘Year for Active Ageing’, we have gone further than ever before. We must quickly disabuse those who have been misled by the Newspeak employed and interpret the term ‘active’ as promoting social or sporting involvement by older people, enhancing the contribution they can make to society on a volunteer basis, encouraging ageing in full health, and so on. This is not what this European Year is about. It is about planning a year of propaganda aimed at changing attitudes towards keeping people of retirement age at work, and for as long as possible at that. Perhaps it will promote keeping them at work until they die, which would generate huge savings for our pension systems. This European Year is a kind of psychological comfort for the restrictive policies implemented by Member States on the orders of Brussels. What a great thing ‘social Europe’ is."@en1
