"The report advocates establishing a European Year of Citizens (2013) in order to raise awareness about the rights deriving from Union citizenship. Unfortunately, the current political, economic and social context could not be more contrary to the view of the EU – which the report adopts – as an area of democracy, equality, solidarity and citizen participation. This view is contradicted every day by the practice, policies and priorities that the EU is imposing on various people and countries, as is the case with Portugal. We are currently witnessing an unprecedented attack on democracy and the rights of citizens. The EU is increasingly an area of inequality, exploitation and loss of the rights for which people have fought and won over centuries. In this EU of free movement of capital and goods, which serves the international monopolies, the ‘free’ movement of people is conditioned by the hard reality for millions of workers, who have no possibility of remaining in their own country due to a lack of jobs and who are forced to seek support for their families elsewhere."@en1
