"Obviously, we believe combating organised crime is extremely important. However, tough measures need to be taken against all the different manifestations of crime, particularly in relation to money laundering, which undoubtedly represents one of the most blatant instances of the blurred boundary between what is legal and what is illegal. We are therefore drawing attention to the whitewashing of certain kinds of crime, which are infiltrating a number of different areas, especially the economic sphere. The rise in crime is inextricably linked to the current socio-economic situation in the European Union and to its policies, both financial and social, which are marked by a deep disrespect for social and labour rights.
The very downgrading of the importance of work and workers, like all the other backward steps that civilisation is taking, is one of the motivations for crime. Therefore, at the same time that we are witnessing brutal violence against the peoples and workers, there is almost complete inertia in relation to the combating of organised crime, the promotion of get-rich-quick and illicit schemes, including drug trafficking, arms trafficking, and human trafficking. We would therefore like to stress the need to break with this policy, whose effects cut across and devastate all manner of areas, in spite of the fact that we voted for this report."@en1
