"We are told that this summit must ‘assess the results of recent months and prepare for the future’. For the workers of the European Union, the results are tens of thousands of redundancies at Moulinex, Sabena, AOM, Danone, in companies involved in IT and in your intended new economy, in which there is more redundancy than recruitment. The results, for working people, are an unbearable level of unemployment, an increase in insecurity and unemployment, illiteracy and a lack of healthcare.
When the rapporteurs express their desire that ‘political, economic and social progress, security and well-being for Europe’s citizens’ should be achieved by means of ‘the establishment of a well-balanced economic and monetary system resulting from the consolidation of economic and social cohesion policy, the strengthening of employment policy…’, they are simply repeating the hollow words used by all of those people who do not understand what it is like to fear unemployment and be insecure about the future.
As for the creation of a Convention responsible for preparing for Europe’s future and the revision of the Treaties, the very name of the person who, in France, has been sounded out to preside over it, Giscard d'Estaing, indicates how far-removed it will be from the interests of the workers and the working population of Europe.
We have voted against it."@en1
