"The report on this initiative follows the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. People living in poverty today number over 80 million, and this phenomenon has been exacerbated by the economic crisis.
There can be agreement on some areas of the text: where, for instance, it refers to women who, due to differences in salaries, are more exposed to the risk of poverty; and where it recognises the need to enhance cohesion policy to support the weakest members of society, such as the elderly and the disabled.
Unfortunately, this report also tends to favour immigrants and minorities. In particular, the Roma are considered to be objects of discrimination and segregation who require
measures for integration.
For this reason, I am voting against the report, because the risk here concerns safeguarding and protecting others to the detriment of European citizens who are experiencing a time of financial difficulty. Housing is becoming more and more of a problem and it is therefore necessary to intervene in such a way as to be able to guarantee access to affordable homes to the poor citizens of Europe."@en1
