"Mr President, 2010, which was declared the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion, is over. It was a year in which the European Union, with unprecedented cynicism and hypocrisy, implemented policies and guidelines that resulted in the significant increase in poverty and social exclusion that we can see today.
The state budget for 2011 in Portugal, drawn up and approved under enormous pressure and applause from the European Union, will lead the country into economic recession and a complete regression on the social level, with a rise in unemployment to record levels and widespread poverty and social exclusion.
Added to all that are the unacceptable levels of pressure and blackmail to which the country has been subjected over the past few weeks and to which we strongly object here: the increasingly bullying tones of financial capitalism and the institutions in its service to force the country and its people to submit to and accept injustice and plundering, to accept the draining of the country’s resources into the pockets of the financial capitalists.
One thing is certain: we can expect a year of much fighting if they continue on this path."@en1
