"The European Union’s budget is a reflection of its policies: it is neoliberal and oblivious to the interest of the majority. The crisis in the capitalist system and the environmental crisis – the consequence of the fanatical obsession with maximum productivity entailed by the endless pursuit of profit – will not have had any effect on it. The EU continues indiscriminately to apply neoliberal dogmas without giving due regard to the evidence of their economic ineffectiveness and environmental and social harmfulness.
Only yesterday, Parliament was voting for aid to be granted under the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund. This fund is purely and simply about putting a socialist slant on the senseless relocations of large groups such as Ford, Nokia and Dell. And that is just one example. What can we say about the European Economic Recovery Plan, which advocates free trade, flexible working and maximum productivity? No, that Europe is definitely not the solution but the problem. Voting for this budget would go against the European general interest."@en1
