". We have not voted in favour of this joint resolution on the heatwave for the simple and good reason that it does not grasp the social, health and environmental measure of the disaster. The heatwave is not fate and its gruesome repercussions were not unavoidable. This climatic accident is primarily the result of the greenhouse effect caused by global warming generated by human activity. Other choices are, however, possible, notably to oblige the industrial powers to respect the Kyoto protocol. The free–marketeers’ choices in terms of energy and transport policies are harmful and criminal. When will there be a resolution for renewable energies so as to leave behind fossil fuels and nuclear energy? When will there be a resolution to prioritise rail and piggyback transport, and moreover, one for other choices relating to national and regional development? Finally, if we continue to reduce public deficit and dismantle public services to abide by the dogma of the Stability and Growth Pact, we will close down social services and hospitals. If we continue to cast elderly people into precarious situations and poverty by revising retirement schemes and systems of allowances, then we will make them even more vulnerable and we will destroy the social security systems. This policy has killed more than 14 000 people in Europe. We need to make different choices for our society."@en1
