"Mr President, the Council’s proposal for the 2013 budget is shameful and unacceptable; it blatantly contradicts the discourse of solidarity and all the propaganda surrounding growth and cohesion. It should not be forgotten that the indiscriminate cuts proposed by the Council are based on pressure from countries which are some of the largest beneficiaries of the single market and common policies. While it is true that the report is critical of the Council position, it is no less true that, in previous years when the Council adopted the same position, this Parliament ultimately always agreed and approved equally unacceptable budgets. In the proposed amendments we submitted, both on the budget and on this report, we showed that alternatives do exist. The crisis we are going through calls for a substantial increase in the budget and an emphasis on its redistributive role: more funds to support production activity, particularly in the countries facing greater difficulties, the creation of employment with rights, the battle against poverty and exclusion, research and development and environmental protection, and fewer resources for external intervention, the elimination of immigration, militarism and institutional propaganda."@en1
