lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Barroso, like many of my fellow Members, I would also like to say that we need to be honest and admit that the central task for the Commission in 2012 is nothing less than holding together the European Union. We need to take a joint approach to developing it further. We need more Europe. We must stick together in the interest of the citizens and we must not allow individual Member States to be exposed to attacks from financial capitalism. However, more Europe must not mean less democracy. In 2012, we will undoubtedly have to lay the foundations for the future development of the European Union, which will perhaps come close to being a state. However, in this Europe which resembles a state, decisions must not be made by decree by the Council and the Commission. The groundwork carried out by the Commission for the convention in 2012 must not result in the citizens of Europe and their parliaments being disenfranchised. Instead, we need a more democratic Europe with a focus on peace, environmental change and social progress. Do you not realise, Mr Barroso, that you and the Commission are increasingly being regarded by the people of Greece, Portugal and Italy as their enemy? The Council has succeeded in making you the scapegoat. Brussels is ordering the privatisation of state assets, cuts in wages and pensions, and the removal of protection against dismissal. This is all pure neoliberalism. Stop, Mr Barroso! You must finally turn the Commission into the ally of the citizens. You must defend people against the effects of greed and join with us in 2012 in bringing an end to the business model that has driven entire states to the brink of ruin with extortionate interest rates. You must stop feeding the predators. Instead, you must channel the funds into urgently needed investments in the future and make the financial transaction tax your touchstone."@en1
