"Madam President, the failure in Cancún is a snub inflicted by the countries of the South on the imperial powers of the United States and the European Union. The latter have tried, once again, to impose their rather cynical logic, which consists of maintaining protectionism for their own agriculture and obtaining free access for their industries the world over.
The suicide of the leader of the Korean peasants symbolises in a tragic manner the despair of millions of men and women dishonoured by this fool's bargain. Under very difficult conditions, the demonstrators in Cancún affirmed their refusal of the rules of the WTO which impoverish them more and more each day. This failure on the part of the WTO will not suffice to change the systems in order, at long last, to satisfy fundamental needs. Nonetheless, it constitutes real encouragement for the rejected of the planet – and they are numerous – to develop their philosophy and fight towards an ambitious objective: to create, at long last, a fair, mutually supportive world. Specifically, today, Mr Lamy, it is necessary to stop demanding, in our name moreover, the liberalisation of 102 of their services. On the contrary, it is time today to cancel the debt of the countries of the South. That could, at long last, open up the possibility of real development for the developing countries."@en1
