"Mr President, I think the time has come to take stock of these policies, of the austerity-related political crises that have been affecting so many countries, and of the so-called ‘structural reforms’. In this context, I do not think we can fail to see how they have been leading to so much social upheaval. They have been leading to social upheaval, not just in the countries in the greatest difficulties; not just in the countries of the South; not just in Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain: also, rather, in other areas of Europe.
Just in the last week, we in Portugal have had the largest general strike ever, in both the public and the private sectors; a strike in which people took to the streets. However, if we look at what has happened today in the United Kingdom, we will see that we have witnessed the largest strike ever, especially if we take into account that people also took to the streets like they did in Portugal. We are expecting a large demonstration in Brussels, next Friday. What this proves, Mr President, and what the strikes and demonstrations on the street prove, is that the causes and problems that we have been facing are shared, so the reaction is also shared."@en1
