We are faced with the Eurozone crisis, as we have been for well over a year now. Despite offering the best solutions to the crisis, the PES is, unfortunately, not in power. Instead, right-wing Governments, lead by France and Germany, dominate the EU landscape. During that time, Conservative politicians have gone from denial to panic to reluctant acceptance of the need to act. However, the words they have used have not changed. Now we start the countdown to the European Council on 23-24 June. We cannot afford the same conservative mistakes. We have signed up to the appeal of progressive forces calling for a new direction.
In the midst of crisis it can sometimes be very revealing what words are used.
