"There is a clear message in the multiannual financial framework proposal that is on the table. Contrary to the impression given by this debate, and despite the impassioned statements made on both sides, the Council and Commission positions do not substantially differ. There is less than 0.2 % of EU gross national income between them. The clear message is therefore that, in a Europe of inequalities and divergence, the funds for economic and social cohesion are going to be cut! This message is in line with the established practice of this European Union: robbing the poor to give to the rich. On the one hand, they want to extend and deepen integration and the single market, by ensuring new and better conditions for the colonisation of markets by the net beneficiaries of the single market. On the other hand, these same net beneficiaries want to squeeze the budget, particularly the cohesion lines – which are the best way of minimising the divergence between our economies – while, however, safeguarding in relative terms those lines from which they hope to secure more resources. This is a path that cannot be accepted by all those – such as Portugal – who will suffer as a result, and severely so."@en1
