"This report is yet another contribution to Parliament’s attempted whitewash of the real causes and consequences of the crisis we are currently experiencing; a spurious attempt to prolong the capitalist system, as if its predatory and exploitative nature could be reformed. What the workers need is not for the board to demonstrate that it is ‘accountable and transparent’, as this report claims. We are well aware what these expressions mean from the mouth of Big Capital: deliberate avoidance of asserting socially progressive measures; subterfuge to duck advocating fair wealth distribution; empty words that cannot replace the need to defend and implement fair wages, collective bargaining, and an end to precariousness. As the crisis advances, it becomes increasingly urgent to do away with the illusion that the pyromaniacs can be asked to come and put out the fire they themselves started. There is a need to respect national sovereignty and promote harmonisation; there is a need to stop prescribing panaceas that do not attack the root of the problem; there is a need to defend micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, pensioners, and young people. That will only be possible by definitively breaking with this system."@en1
