"Mr President, the joy with which the majority of this Parliament speak of the European Semester can only stem from their denial of the reality out there.
Mind you, we could talk about the fact that elected sovereign national bodies have been prevented from taking sovereign decisions about their country’s fate, a decision that no one ever asked the people about, yet let us instead talk about the content of these recommendations. However much the rhetoric about the need for growth and jobs is trotted out, the one thing that is sure is that it is the very recommendations under the European Semester which impose cuts in public investment, privatisation and, in several countries such as in Portugal, cuts in salaries, when a third of Portuguese earn salaries of less than EUR 600. In other words, what the Commission and the Council have recommended is more recession, more unemployment and more poverty.
The reality is out there and you can see it for yourselves. The only people that cannot see it are those who do not want to see it."@en1
