"I voted against the Commission Work Programme as there were a number of problematic aspects. Reading through the aims of the Commission, the focus is supposedly to avoid economic boom and bust cycles, and aimed at restoring economic growth to the EU.
However there is no tangible focus on equitable growth or poverty reduction. It shows a clear disconnect between European bureaucrats and the reality that is facing millions of struggling working families right across the EU.
The Commission Work Programme’s primary aim seems to be just to ensure that Member States do not deviate from the economic neo-liberal ideology that it is pushing. It does not leave Member States with flexibility to implement alternative policies, which would be pro-investment, pro-growth, pro-jobs.
In effect it is working to deny citizens real political choices when electing their governments."@en1
