"The need for ‘legal certainty’ in the legislation issued by the EU cannot be a pretext for imposing certain legislation on the Member States that is considered damaging to issues of vital interest to said Member States. The more each country and its people surrender their sovereignty to the guidelines of the EU’s directorate and the interests that control it, the more important this issue becomes.
EU legislation and guidelines are becoming increasingly centralist and anti-democratic, which tends to strip away power and competences from the political structures close to and controlled by the public.
Moreover, said guidelines and legislation are increasingly serving the financial sector and large companies, and are against the interests of the overwhelming majority of the population. It is clear to the Portuguese workers and the Portuguese public, for example, that EU guidelines and legislation are increasingly being used as justification for dismantling rights and society’s achievements.
We are facing a brutal decline in social terms, whilst big fortunes are on the rise. And, unsatisfied, they want even more. Only the organised struggle of the peoples can stop them."@en1
