"Madam President, there are no indecent jobs or indecent professions. Even the oldest profession in the world is not indecent. However, there are indecent conditions and they are bred by our policy.
When someone is poor and weak, he will take recourse to indecent work. Jean Valjean in
was not indecent when he stole the loaf of bread. However, we have given birth to 100 million European Jean Valjeans and the multinational companies exploit this need.
Some people need to understand that, if we do not change policy, if we take the bankers’ word as gospel, we shall have people who end up in indecent work. Mr Trichet doubled interest rates in two years.
When someone on a salary of EUR 800 takes a loan, you can understand that he is unable to pay it off. So he will accept indecent work. We are responsible and we must therefore take a leap forward. After so many years, we are going back to feudalism. In the old days, the liege lord had a reputation. Now he has a bank."@en1
