"The objective of the instrument proposed in this report is clear: to create better conditions for interfering in the domestic affairs of sovereign countries, so as to better serve the interests of the major EU powers, along with those of the big business and financial sectors thereof. In fact, it is clear – and very significant – how similar this instrument is to an existing one in the US with identical goals. They are lining up new interventions; new breaches of international law and the UN Charter, to add to the many other violations of instruments that the EU hypocritically claims to respect. They want to use this instrument to overcome the ‘lack of resources’, the ‘restricted mandate’, the ‘limitations and the lack of flexibility for promoting ‘change’ of the so-called European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights. In the end, what ‘change’ do they want to promote: that which took place in Libya, in Afghanistan, in Iraq or in Honduras? What kind of democracy can be promoted by an EU that is itself attacking democracy within its borders; that wants to enshrine the ‘golden rule’ of neoliberalism in constitutions, whilst attacking the historic and civil rights and achievements of the workers and peoples?"@en1
