lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we need an answer to the question of why tomorrow’s informal summit is being held. Is it being held in order to diffuse the serious opposition to the extreme neoliberal policies being applied in the European Union? Is it being held in order to give false hopes and stop the spread of criticism and questions expressed by the results in Greece, France and, most probably, Ireland or is there an honest intention, which I cannot see, to bring about a sea change and hence a change of policy? We know that the leaders of the majority of countries are following policies of fiscal austerity and strict discipline which circumvent every democratic right and labour right. They are fanatically dedicated to that policy and that is the policy they will follow. Therefore, we cannot expect a different policy from those leaders. Mr Rehn, will we have to listen to yet more of the same about responsible and irresponsible political forces in Greece? Yet more of the same about uninformed Greek citizens? Let me assure you that Greek citizens, like European citizens, are informed and responsible. Neither your interventions nor the summits apparently called to discuss the question of growth will be able to divert them from the radical changes they want in order to create a Europe of cohesion, democracy and solidarity."@en1
