"With regard to this proposed additional macro-financial assistance, the observations we made about the decision to grant the previous macro-financial assistance to this country remain valid and relevant. We always advocate the EU’s need to grant assistance in solidarity with countries that need it, and for this assistance to be directed at projects that serve the interests of the people. However, EU ‘assistance’ has demonstrated that it has little to do with solidarity. The interests of big companies and financial institutions, and of the major powers almost always overcome the genuine and real interests of solidarity.
It is no different with Georgia. It is important to bear in mind that the proposed financial assistance is intended above all to finance the recommendations of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and its policy of structural adjustment: in other words, persisting with the same neoliberal policies that led to the economic and financial crisis that this country is facing.
We also maintain the same reservations and concerns with regard to possible progress in terms of the militarisation of the Caucasus region as a result of the tensions with Russia, bearing in mind the region’s energy wealth and geostrategic importance, which arouses the greed of the EU and its monopolies."@en1
