"With regard to this resolution, we can say that capitalism is increasingly revealing its true nature and deep contradictions, as it is a system that does not solve humanity’s problems, but rather exacerbates them, fuelling inequality, injustice and poverty.
As the imperialist hegemony is being challenged, its powers are seeking to ‘coordinate’ strategies for perpetuating something that is unsustainable: the maintenance of the system and the neoliberal policies that cyclically engender crises like the ones we are currently experiencing.
This joint motion for a resolution is an example of this, as it fails in the essential task of investigating the reasons for the crisis: it does not make any serious effort to curb speculation on the price of food, it calls for measures aimed at liberalising international trade, and it lacks a firm position on solving the Palestine problem, while also ignoring other crucial issues, such as the call for the immediate and permanent release of the Cuban Five. At the same time, the process that led to the recent foreign intervention in Libya is repeating itself, taking a familiar form and having familiar consequences, and opening the way for the possibility of new wars in Syria and Iran, with the danger that the conflict will spread throughout the Middle East.
We are therefore voting against this resolution."@en1
