lpv:translated text	"Mr President, developments in Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, in the EU in general and in Greece, where they culminated in the three-party black-front coalition government of social democrats, neoliberals and the far right, are the ‘will’ of the EU and of capital and mark an even more savage and barbaric attack by capital on the rights and lives of the working classes, the grassroots classes and young people. As was to be expected, the three-party government of capital in Greece has unleashed a storm of anti-grassroots measures in its programming statements and anti-grassroots budget which are making the people’s lives hell: there have been thousands of redundancies in the private and public sectors, with 30 000 civil servants due to be dismissed by the end of 2011 alone, followed by a further 200 000 over the next three years, new sweeping wage and pension cuts, new taxes on the workers and even bigger social spending cuts. Greece is a perfect example of the fact that the policy of capitalist restructurings adopted by the EU and capital and the policy of the bourgeois governments is the strategic choice of the monopolies and is being applied uniformly to all EU Member States, irrespective of whether or not they have a memorandum, irrespective of whether or not they are in the support mechanism, whether or not they have deficits and debts and whether they are lenders or borrowers. Despite their serious differences, the bourgeois governments of the EU Member States are united when it comes to striking at the rights of the working and grassroots classes, in order to shift the burden of the capitalist crisis on to them. For the workers, the only popular solution is to re-establish the working and grassroots movement, to organise in the workplace and in grassroots neighbourhoods, to build up the grassroots alliance and to overturn the power of the monopolies, in order to break free from the EU and write off their debt, with power to the people and a grassroots economy."@en1
