THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE CURRENT
'EUROPE' CLASS
Faced with
exasperation provoked by political as well as practical, European leaders, the
question is increasingly asked: how to feed a dynamic to "rebuild
Europe", that encourage citizens to challenge the foundations class
that made the European Union it has gradually become. This
presupposes clearly designate the orientations and structures with which it is
essential to reach break.
Thus,
it is essential to question the generalized competition: "The open market
economy where competition is free and undistorted." Number
of devastating rules relate to this cardinal principle of "Europe"
today: the "free movement" without "interference" (goods,
services, capital), the obligation to open public utilities competition,
fiscal and social dumping, the obsession with 'competitiveness' and free trade
... Deny this logic is necessary to pave the way for cooperative policies on
the economy (co, coordinated industrial policy, coordinated reduction uneven
development ...) and supportive strategies in social (job security and training
for each and every common to the promotion of human capacities priority,
minimum wage for every country tax harmonization ...)
Another
trend of "Europe" to counter current: rampant financialization of the
economy, where as resulting wound (austerity, insecurity, unemployment,
asphyxia utilities ...) Deny the logic of submission to the demands of " investors
"in the financial market makes it possible to address the critical issue
of the new tasks entrusted to the European Central Bank (ECB) and a radically
new role for the euro, to request the removal of the Stability Pact and the re-
because
of fiscal treaty as guidelines or regulations that are similar; to require a
real hunt for tax havens, the establishment of an effective tax on financial
transactions and a vote on a tax reform based on social justice and
economic efficiency; brief asking that all resources are mobilized to create
money and use the money for employment, training, utilities, environmental
transition.
Finally,
we must address the verticality of power in the current European construction:
the treaties (which seek to impose a definite liberal model), the ECB
("independent"), the Commission (and arrogant "economic
governance") ,
the Court (at exorbitant powers and without recourse), not to mention the
concentration of control levers is at the dominant states, starting with
Germany's Merkel ... Deny this logic means action to involve citizens in development
of major European political choice, control decisions and evaluating their
effects get intervening rights for employees on business management, to respect
the prerogatives of elected assemblies, starting with parliaments in a
word to sustain democracy and popular sovereignty.
Everyone
understands that any step in this direction involves a convergence in thinking
and in action many different strengths and seeking change. This
means if the ambition to "rebuild Europe" requires a great effort of
education policy and strategy for gathering resolutely banishing all narrowness!
