"Mr President, what we are being asked to vote for tomorrow is the abolition in 2014 of the European food aid programme for the most deprived, because no guarantee has been given so far as regards future programming.
To put it frankly, this is a disgrace. It is a disgrace that a blocking minority is being masterminded from Germany to prevent food being given to those that go hungry – a disgrace that is also indicative of what the European Union has become: sacrificing solidarity at the altar of ultraliberal and bureaucratic logic.
Should we be resigned to the idea that the European project is now helping to crush the weakest? When it comes to finding billions for the banks, they change the law. Yet, when it comes to the most basic charity to the poor, the legal wrangling begins.
As far as our group is concerned, Germany and the EU Court of Justice and its judges have clearly lost touch with reality and their stance is totally indefensible. These decisions fuel the growing disenchantment among the people and the European Union."@en1
