"Ordinary people are losing their faith in the ability of EU leaders to solve the economic crisis. The unemployment rate in the eurozone has risen to an all-time record. According to Eurostat, which is responsible for statistical data on the EU, unemployment was 10.3% in October. It is feared that it will increase even further in the near future. The worsening situation is cause for grave concern.
Once again, the EU is preparing for a ‘decisive’ summit meeting. Over this past year, there has already been an untold number of meetings considered ‘decisive’ from the perspective of the economic crisis. It is important to try to save the euro and the EU, but this cannot be allowed to happen at the expense of everything else.
Our society today is rapidly becoming less equal, with people dividing more and more into winners and losers. The rich get richer. The poor get poorer. One wonders where that famous social Europe is exactly; or, rather, where it has actually gone. The time has come for EU leaders to roll up their sleeves. We need to start working together properly for a socially fairer Europe."@en1
