"President of the Commission, your speech today was amazing. It reminds me of the ‘good old Soviet period’, when there was always a greater density of speeches when the economic situation got worse. We still hear ‘let us increase, let us grow, let us improve’. Instead of ‘Communist Party’, you are using the term ‘European Commission’. Your speech today was totally misleading and populist. You want to appeal to all political groups from the left wing to the extreme right. You talk about social justice and the social market economy and how the European Commission will ensure the creation of jobs. I do not think that you yourself even believe what you say. Since when has the European Commission created jobs; since when have the Member States’ governments created jobs? As far as I know, jobs are still created by entrepreneurs, who by the way you fail to mention in your speech! Why are you misleading European citizens by promising them social justice in a situation where our economy is hanging by a thread? Instead of giving people sweeteners and promising them a better life, you should tell them the truth: that they must mainly rely on themselves, work harder and make an effort to remain competitive on the labour market. I would also have expected you to say something to support European entrepreneurs through the intensifying global competition by providing for a lower tax burden and simpler legislation. I must say that I am disappointed with your speech."@en1
