"Mr President, the process of negotiating with the Council has brought us the expected result: more has been cut from something that was already short; very short. The customary ritual will be followed: self-professed pro-Europeans of various stripes, who beat their chests in here when talking about the importance of a robust budget in the service of growth and development, are preparing to vote – without blushing – for this proposal.
This final proposal is below 1% of EU gross domestic product and will represent a decrease in the EU budget in real terms compared with last year. At the same time as they are tightening the noose of instruments like the Stability and Growth Pact and are freezing or even deepening the inequalities between the Member States, they are reducing to almost nothing the redistributive function of the budget, which would play a key role in reducing these inequalities.
All this is greatly exacerbated by intervention in the countries suffering the programmes of the International Monetary Fund and the European Union. More so than the dead letters in the Treaties, the much-vaunted cohesion is increasingly a big lie. Amongst other things, the wave of protests and demonstrations across Europe is against this increasingly big lie."@en1
