"This is yet another crucial report because of the importance of the issues at stake and its profoundly negative implications. Like the other fundamental steps being taken in this process of European integration – which is clearly culminating in the serious economic and social crisis we are facing – this is yet another report that has the support of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament. This unholy alliance is now trying to impose an ever greater budgetary discipline on the Member States. By making policy coordination an end in itself, it is seeking to gloss over the profoundly negative and reactionary nature of these policies.
Regrettably, the series of amendments we tabled to this report were not adopted, as they were rejected by the unholy alliance. For example, some of the amendments we tabled criticise the veritably aggressive programmes of the troika of the International Monetary Fund, the European Commission and the European Central Bank; defend a policy of effective budgetary stabilisation that takes account of growth and is aimed at wealth redistribution, sustainable development, job creation and social progress; and stress the need to reverse neoliberal economic policies in order to overcome the crisis. That is why we voted against."@en1
