"It is, at the very least, shocking that the proposals and guidelines contained in this report are being put forward in the current context of profound economic and social crisis, which is a pretext for all types of attacks on the workers and the people and for plundering them. What is under discussion is a militaristic agenda and a resumption of the arms race. In this situation of crisis, this forebodes new and dangerous developments for the people of the world.
The report advocates a qualitative leap in the militarisation of the EU, making it increasingly subordinate to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and its agenda of global domination. Following the path of the Treaty of Lisbon, it aims to increase EU military spending and to assign a policy planning role to the European Defence Agency. The report goes so far as to propose a type of European Semester defining the priorities to be implemented by each country, or group of countries, in a framework that is not for defence of the countries’ sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence, but for their specialisation to strengthen EU interventionism in the world, all of this while simultaneously cutting social expenditure, which is truly putting civilisation into reverse. The military-industrial complex, the war industry, is here speaking through the rapporteur’s words, in order to protect its own interests."@en1
