lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the only response of governments in Europe to the needs of their peoples has been austerity. We need a Europe of solidarity, not this Europe of punishment. Parliament is the only institution with direct democratic legitimacy. Exclusive authority over the EU budget cannot be handed over to governments. We already know their solution. We will therefore vote against this mandate. We have many serious disagreements with the majority in Parliament. For example, we will not support direct transfers to multinational drug companies or appropriations for a ‘Fortress Europe’. Instead, we will fight, tabling amendments to the budget so that it constitutes an effective response to the crisis. The Commission proposes increasing the level of payments, but the reality is that these are already promised to the Cohesion Fund and the European Social Fund, whose main creditors are none other than Italy, Spain, Greece and Portugal. Fewer resources will only result in fewer jobs, more poverty and more social exclusion. This is not the time for half-measures or vague decisions made by Europe’s leaders. It is time to change Europe, which, up until now, has been held hostage to the markets and banks. More than ever, this is the time to respond to the specific problems of real people, prioritising job creation, health, education and social security. That is why we are engaged in the struggle, both here and outside Parliament."@en1
