"Madam President, the borrowing crisis in the euro area, which has taken my country, Greece, to the International Monetary Fund, at the European Union’s insistence, has highlighted the serious social and democratic deficit in the European Union and, more importantly, in the Treaty of Lisbon.
Thus, apart from the social coups (for example, collective agreements have been cancelled in Greece), we also have political coups, with the elected government in Greece failing to pass decisions because all this has been set out in the memorandum signed with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, the European Parliament failing to pass a resolution approving or rejecting these decisions and all this being decided in presidential decrees.
However, what I wanted to point out is that we also have a political coup at European level, given that neither the people nor the European Parliament have been asked about the financing mechanism created in accordance with Article 122 in order to allow the countries of Europe to borrow.
In other words, there has been a change of institution, which is why I would like you, Madam President, to raise this matter and to see this issue debated in the European Parliament in accordance with Article 218 on the conclusion of international agreements."@en1
