"The first lines of the introduction to the Annual Growth Survey 2015 read as follows: ‘Having come through the worst financial and economic crisis in generations, the EU has done a lot to create the foundations for more sound and sustainable growth in the future’.
It begs the question – what planet do those people live on? Seven years into this crisis and far from ʽhaving come throughʼ, we have lurched from one emergency to another, with the Commission/Council/various Eurogroups/ECB all combining to come up with one ʽfixʼ after another, many of those fixes then making matters worse, not better.
We are still in crisis: the Juncker Plan and the QE programme the latest sure-fire ʽfixesʼ concocted by the institutions.
When will you learn? What will it take for you to see that the medicine again being prescribed for us all in this Semester is what is actually killing the patient? It is now as plain as day – austerity and all the neoliberal policies imposed on struggling countries is not working!
Please understand, you are dealing with real people, real poverty, real pain; in persevering with these policies you deal out more real poverty, more real pain.
This is madness, pure and simple."@en1
