EU Summit – Many Issues, Little Progress
“Be it refugees, debt, terror, or democracy: Even after the summit the EU remains in a constant crisis mode.” says Alexander Ulrich, spokesperson for DIE LINKE group in the parliamentary EU committee. Ulrich further:
“Instead of fighting the reasons of migration and stopping arms exports to crisis regions, the EU further banks on seclusion with the help of a Frontex rapid reaction force. This will work as little as the fighting of the debt crisis via new cutting dictates. The EU needed a radical democratisation, so that other ideas beside market radicality and militarism can prevail. Yet, precisely this democratisation is rejected by the EU with the 5-presidents-report.
DIE LINKE will further promote more solidarity with refugees, more social justice, and more democracy also in 2016.”
