"The multiannual financial framework, also known as ‘financial perspectives’, sets a medium-term programme for the Union’s main budgetary priorities. In that sense, it is a key element. However, this motion for a resolution on the multiannual financial framework (MFF) stresses that ‘the EU budget needs to play a strategic role, in parallel with the budgetary consolidation measures currently imposed on national budgets’ (, paragraph 1), thus legitimising austerity measures. Even though the austerity policies imposed by the European Union have been undermining economies and social structures, the text submitted to the vote of Parliament dares to claim that ‘94% [of EU appropriations] are dedicated to stimulating economic growth and jobs and the EU’s role as a global actor’ (ibid). Worse still, even though the Council is constantly checkmating the European Parliament in budgetary powers, this text merely asks for ‘the political positions agreed by the European Council [to] be negotiated between Parliament and the Council’ (paragraph 5). I therefore voted against this resolution, which supports the austerity policies that destroy the peoples of Europe."@en1
