The report adopted heaps extensive praise on the European Semester, indicating the nature of the political forces that hold the majority in this Parliament. It is a process that aims to do nothing more than coordinate an attack on the rights and living conditions of workers and peoples throughout the European Union. The report ‘acknowledges the Commission’s emphasis on labour market reforms with a view to increasing the competitiveness of the euro area’ and ‘considers that wage increases should be kept in line with productivity’. What should be highlighted here is the total collusion of the social democrats – the so-called ‘socialists’ and ‘greens’ – in this regression of civilisation and this dangerous attack on democracy. It is illuminating to read the amendments, which attempt to add a few ‘social’ touches to the profoundly reactionary edifice of the ‘European Semester’, but end up legitimising not only the process that led to it but also its content. They are profoundly anti-democratic, showing contempt for the will and participation of the people and, behind citizens’ backs, taking away all powers from the power structures that are close to them and which they control (better), namely the national parliaments, in an intolerable attack on the sovereignty of each country and its people."@en1
