"Mr President, though I usually welcome an optimistic outlook and while it is always good to hear from you, President Barroso, that the bad times are almost over, I am afraid that for many, this message really just does not fit the reality and, while you may be thinking about popping open the champagne, I would air some caution as the real work is yet to begin.
The financial markets may be recovering and the experts may be more optimistic about the EU economy, but if you step outside the bubble, you will see the true consequences of austerity: living, social and working standards dropping; ordinary people feeling the pain; exploitation by predatory employers using zero-hour contracts; a massive rise in food banks and the need for aid across the EU, while energy prices rise and unemployment remains cripplingly high.
Now is not the time to congratulate ourselves. Now is the time to get to work and stop the erosion of living and working conditions caused by austerity across the EU."@en1
