"This report results from the work of a temporary committee, set up to debate, draw conclusions and come up with recommendations on measures to be taken regarding the financial, economic and social crisis. As was to be expected, the report is full of contradictions resulting from the positions the various political groups have been adopting on this subject. The essential issue is that the most negative features and consequences of the current European integration process, whose nature and content are strongly neoliberal, are being exacerbated. These are the reinforced criteria of the Stability and Growth Pact and the so-called ‘Euro Plus Pact’, with more attacks on rights and social regression; it is so-called ‘economic governance’, which is an attack on democracy itself; and it is the Europe 2020 strategy, with the parade of more liberalisations, privatisations and deregulation that it provides for.
In this context – in which the main political groups support this report: the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament (S&D Group), the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, and even the so-called Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance – the more progressive gentle criticism that some are seeking to give the report, particularly the S&D Group, matters little. The series of policies that are not being called into question here, but rather are being endorsed, do not create the necessary conditions for overcoming the crisis: on the contrary, they will deepen it for us."@en1
