"Mr President, one of the European solidarity measures urgently needed to curb speculation against the euro was taken at this summit, which gambled on careering blindly into a new Treaty using anti-democratic means that this Parliament will not accept. The proposal to increase IMF funding is the most shameful admission yet of the impotence of the ‘Merkozy’ Europe.
In my country, older people who used to be middle-class are swelling the queues at the soup kitchens, thousands of children are turning up to school with empty bellies, thousands of families are losing the homes in which they have invested their life savings, and young people in their thousands are leaving for Angola, Brazil, Australia and Germany because of the lack of work, owing to companies going bust and making more people redundant every day.
By contrast, the rich are getting richer, and can therefore continue putting their money into tax havens such as the City of London, with the help of our banks, supported by the loan from the
for which the Portuguese taxpayer will pay through the nose. Through the obsession with the recessive austerity of the ‘Merkozy tandem’, the European Council is simply impeding growth and employment in Europe, and destroying social Europe and the European Union itself; it is laying waste to pro-European sentiment amongst the European public and sowing the seeds of social chaos."@en1
