lpv:translated text	"Madam President, every day, and within its own borders, the same European Union that claims the right to teach the world lessons on human rights tramples on human rights contained in its Universal Declaration, such as the right to social security, unemployment protection, fair wages, food, medical assistance and free education. These and other rights contained in its Universal Declaration are under attack in Portugal and other Member States from the IMF-EU ‘pact of aggression’ and so-called austerity measures. The same European Union that claims the right to teach the world lessons on democracy has just made it clear that its idea of democracy is to disregard and contradict the will of the people in a Treaty drafted in defiance of the most elementary democratic rules and principles. Unfortunately, what is becoming clear is that human rights are increasingly being used as a pretext for foreign intervention and interference, violating the letter and spirit of the UN Charter. For our part, we reject this instrumental and restrictive view of human rights."@en1
