The European Parliament adopted the resolution on the mid-term review of the Lisbon strategy with the vote of the PPE-DE, the social democrats, the liberals and other conservative political forces, who put any minor differences between them to one side and united on the strategic objective of the Lisbon treaty.
In the name of the competitiveness of the economy of united Europe (in other words of its monopolies), an unprecedented attack has been unleashed on the employment and social rights of the grass-roots classes. I refer to the violent redistribution of workers' income for the benefit of big business, with reductions in the salaries of workers and those entering retirement, the abolition of welfare payments and reductions in benefits, privatisations and so on. The aim is to use so-called active forms of employment in order to extend flexible forms of work and push back the retirement age; in other words, to create cheap, flexible manpower which will be easy prey for exploitation by the monopolies with impunity.
The parliamentary group of the Communist Party of Greece voted against the resolution, which accepts the full frontal attack on the working and other grass-roots classes and demonstrates the class orientation of the ΕU. There can be no self-delusion as to the importance of the Lisbon strategy. The organised resistance, disobedience and fight of the majority of the grass-roots classes in the ΕU against the Lisbon anti-labour strategy is the only way out."@en1
