lpv:translated text	"The objectives of this report are very clear: to support the creation of better conditions for interfering in the domestic affairs of countries, so as to better serve the interests of big business and the financial sector in the EU. If the creation of this instrument – similar to one already created by the United States – is confirmed, we will be helping to breach international law and the UN Charter, not to mention violating many other 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 European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights. What ‘change’ do the majority in Parliament want to promote in third countries when they are supporting one of the most violent attacks on democracy and human rights in EU countries like Portugal? What ‘change’ can we expect when they are really seeking to weaken popular resistance, and to discredit and weaken democracy, so as to gain support for authoritarian solutions? What kind of democracy can be promoted by an EU that wants to enshrine the ‘golden rule’ of neoliberalism in constitutions, whilst attacking the rights and achievements of the workers and peoples, and public health care, education and transport systems?"@en1
