"Statements are being made that would have been unimaginable a year ago. However, at the same time, differences of opinion still exist between the main leaders. This is evidence, on the one hand, of an attempt to avoid responsibility for the serious consequences of the neoliberal policies and, on the other hand, of dust being kicked up to obscure the view of the paths being taken, which are essentially the same as before, with a few very minor alterations. This means that the principle of ‘things have to change so that everything can stay the same’, which Luchino Visconti dealt with so well in his film ‘The Leopard’, is once again being advocated.
Accordingly, while the British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has asserted that ‘the market is there to serve us’, adding that ‘we are not here to serve the market’, but without introducing basic measures to effectively control the market and limiting himself to insisting on coordination and regulation measures for tax havens, the President of the European Commission, Mr Barroso, has insisted on the liberalisation of international trade and the Doha Agenda.
Nothing has been said about measures to end the privatisation of public services and strategic sectors of our economies. Nothing has been said about doing away with the liberal Lisbon Strategy or about defending jobs with rights, by putting an end to attempts to change labour legislation for the worse."@en1
