"This report proposes to solve the problem of the increased public deficit by controlling and limiting government expenditure, as has already been done in Spain through major reforms. The report also increases the European Commission’s powers by granting it the capacity to impose sanctions on those Member States that do not comply with the deficit control objectives. That is clearly unacceptable. This report presents the main solution that the EU is proposing in order to emerge from the crisis; that is, austerity measures and cuts that are going to achieve the opposite of what is expected: greater poverty, exclusion and inequality. These measures go further with the very same policies that got us into this crisis. Controlling government expenditure will lead to degrowth and recession, rather than stimulating measures, as they should, in order to generate economic development and protect the most disadvantaged who, even though they are not responsible for this crisis, are paying for it and will continue to do so. The people who are responsible for this crisis should pay for it, not the workers. I obviously voted emphatically against this report."@en1
