lpv:translated text	"Our abstention from the vote on the Charter certainly does not mean we are opposed to its European character. On the contrary, we are persuaded that in future we shall see a Europe without frontiers between unified nations, from one end of the continent to the other. However, the European institutions, like the national institutions, tend far more to represent the interests of big capital than the interests of the people as a whole, and especially of the working people. Democratic rights and freedoms, like democracy itself, can only be genuinely expressed so long as they do not conflict with the interests of large industrial and financial groups. Whichever of the two institutional trends implicitly reflected in the debate about the Charter we look at, these groups can take entirely sovereign economic decisions that spell disaster for an entire population, leading, for example, to factories closing down and to the ruin or pollution of an entire region. We therefore believe that a genuinely unified and democratic Europe is possible only if we can rid it of the power of the large industrial and financial groups, which is the necessary condition for real and democratic control by the people over their institutions."@en1
