"Mr President, first Greece and now Portugal have been transformed into laboratories for the policies of the Troika: unprecedented austerity, the brutal reduction of wages and pensions, increased taxes and reduced benefits. The Portuguese Prime Minister, who, in 2011 claimed that austerity would not always focus on increasing taxes and cutting incomes, has now announced the reduction of social security contributions by companies, while these will increase for workers, amounting to the cutting of at least one month’s salary: in short, slavery! In Greece, the working week is increasing to six days, and the rest period between working shifts is being reduced to 11 hours: slavery! This spiral of recession, with no end in sight, is not only failing to pull us out of the crisis, but is bringing us closer to slavery. However, in the demonstrations that are being announced in Portugal, Greece and other parts of the world, we will show that we refuse to be slaves."@en1
