"This summer, not even seasonal work managed to bring unemployment down: according to the latest Eurostat data, in the euro area, average unemployment stands at 10% of the active population, but this figure is in excess of 20% for young people in the European Union.
It is particularly serious that the European Commission, the Council and the national governments are not giving this problem greater priority and are insisting on the restricted application of the Stability and Growth Pact, together with austerity policies; in doing so, they are also dooming the future of a generation of young people. In some countries, such as France, they are even taking action to expel groups of Roma citizens
or return them to their countries; this is promoting racism and xenophobia at the level of the state itself. These attitudes are unacceptable and deserve to be rejected by us; they also make it clear that, in the end, it is just capital and goods that have freedom of movement. A break with these policies is urgently required. It is essential for the European Union to defend human rights and create jobs with rights."@en1
