"The ink is barely dry on new European legislation strengthening the foundations of the European superstate and here we are creating a global financial government under the aegis of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). How to use the crisis to further not so honourable ideological goals, without ever really challenging the root cause of what led us to this tragic situation: the finance-driven globalisation of the economy. Yet this is not a scientific phenomenon, nor is it a historic inevitability: it is simply the work of politicians who have taken certain decisions at certain times in history, the first of them being choosing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) over the Havana Charter in the post-war years. A very clear choice in favour of ultraliberalism against regulated trade and the primacy of the political will of States over the commercial interests of the private sector, a choice further compounded by the Marrakesh agreements and the creation of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), now run by the socialist Pascal Lamy. This just shows how the pseudo-elites running our States are in collusion. Deglobalisation is therefore a matter of choice. It requires both will and courage against all the lobbies profiteering from the system. In the National Front, we have this political will and courage."@en1
