".
The world is facing one of the most serious crises of capitalism, with dramatic consequences for workers and people in general.
In the EU, this crisis is the result of neoliberal policies which are still being pursued. These policies are enshrined in the Treaties and in the so-called ‘Lisbon Strategy’, which the Treaty of Lisbon is trying to institutionalise, with greater depth and scope. Instead of properly tackling the causes of the crisis, the Council is reiterating the fundamental lines of those policies which caused the crisis, in what constitutes a worrying and irresponsible attempt to continue with these policies despite all the evidence. As a result, the Council is supporting:
the intention to adopt the Treaty of Lisbon, now by means of deception, which involves passing off exactly the same thing, which has already been rejected by the Irish people, as something different;
free and unregulated movement of capital and the existence of offshore financial centres;
liberalisation of the markets, privatisation of public services and growing financialisation of the economy;
deregulation of labour relations, devaluation of wages, intensification of exploitation and defence of flexicurity;
the failure to properly tackle unemployment, by persisting in channelling huge sums to support the financial sector, without paying the same attention to the productive sectors."@en1
