"We voted against this resolution, which once again ignores the reality and the far-reaching measures needed to change the grave situation being experienced in the European Union. It should already be clear that, without changing the policies and fundamentals of the economic and monetary union, it is impossible to prioritise jobs with rights, and the elimination of poverty, social exclusion, and society’s inequalities and injustices. We would stress the urgent need for an employment and social progress pact and the abolition of the current Stability and Growth Pact once and for all.
It is time to terminate the programmes of veritable aggression against the workers and peoples of Greece, Portugal and Ireland currently being imposed by the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and the European Commission. As the struggling workers and peoples are demanding, it is time for a break with the policies of monopolistic capitalism that are causing profound social injustices in the majority of the European Union’s countries. This is all happening at the same time as they are preparing to give billions of euro to the banks, transferring their debts to the public sector: in other words, to the workers, young people and women who are in precarious situations or are unemployed; to the pensioners without a decent standard of living; and to the small and medium-sized enterprises that are already unable to cope with the financial throttling and the sharp decline in the people’s purchasing power."@en1
