A Progressive Europe should stand up to the Banks and Big Business Lobbies — Social Europe Journal

The crisis has shown the urgency of rejecting the neoliberal ideology currently dominating EU policy-making and reigning in the far-reaching influence of corporate lobbies. There has been a lively debate about the influential role of lobbying in Brussels over the last few years, centred on the lack of transparency around lobbyists’ activities. Scandals linking MEPs to lobbying and former Commissioners going through the revolving door into lobbying jobs have all added to a growing awareness of the levels of corporate influence in Brussels.

SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras's message to Europe | Green Left Weekly

(...) "Apart from lacking any democratic legitimacy, the application of this "internal devaluation" program is leading our economy onto a catastrophic path, while at the same time annulling all the prerequisites for recovery. Internal devaluation has lead to a humanitarian crisis.

Therefore, we need to reexamine the whole framework of existing strategy if the threat to social stability and cohesion in Greece, and the stability of the whole eurozone, is not to be threatened." (...)
