"Mr President, the situation in Greece – a subject which the Commission and the Council have tried to avoid wherever possible – shows us the destructive potential of the EU-IMF pacts of aggression. In Portugal, as in Greece, these pacts of aggression are exacerbating all of the country’s problems. As in Greece, in Portugal they are already preparing to announce the failure of the first pact of aggression, perhaps to pave the way for a second. The sad scenes that we saw at the last Economic and Financial Affairs Council laid to rest the assertions that Greece is a unique case and reflected the private acknowledgement, unexpectedly laid bare in public, of what everyone already knew. Under the conditions imposed by the EU and the IMF, the debt cannot be repaid, but will continue to serve as justification for an ongoing and intolerable process of extorting national resources.
This confirms a basic proposition: namely, that the most pressing task facing the workers and peoples of Europe is to derail these EU-IMF pacts of aggression. This struggle, which may be drawn-out, is a key factor in determining the pace of the collective life of the European peoples over the coming years or even decades."@en1
