"Mr President, almost halfway through the term of this European Parliament, we should have the courage to ask ourselves where Europe is going, to what extent are we able to realise the ambitious goals of the Europe 2020 strategy, and whether we see any real prospect of a prolonged exit from the financial crisis affecting many EU Member States. Let us remember that, in times of instability and a sense that there is a risk that we might not be able to meet the basic needs of life, populist social movements often come to the fore proclaiming extremist slogans of change. We must not ignore the ‘outraged movement’, which also takes the form of idealistic youth opposition devoid of any real prospect of creative development or decent work, but which, in future, might become the nucleus of a major political force, but with what kind of face?
We cannot remain silent about the lack of accountability on the part of politicians who have forced us to live on credit and at the expense of future generations by making unrealistic promises in exchange for staying in power, and even seeking to hide or modify the real situation. Although known for its accuracy, the Brussels administration did not effectively monitor individual Member States and accepted a dangerous increase in budget deficits and debt."@en1
