France: Towards a Large Unified Demonstration in Paris on Sunday, September
30.

No to Permanent Austerity
Reject the Fiscal Pact – Open Up the Debate in Europe !

The President of the Republic would like to have the Parliament ratify as
quickly as possible the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance
(TSCG) of the Eurozone, better known by the name “Budgetary Pact”, which was
signed by Nicolas Sarkozy on March 25. However, the feeble “growth” measures
announced on May 29 in no way constitute the “renegotiation” promised during
the electoral campaign by François Hollande, which “adds austerity to
austerity”.

This Budgetary Pact will aggravate the neoliberal policies advocated for
years now and which have led to the current problems of the Eurozone. It is,
in the first place, an economic absurdity. By stipulating that the
“structural deficit” of a country has to be less than 0.5 % it will oblige
the states to make drastic cuts in public expenditures. It will deprive
public power of indispensable means for carrying out policies allowing a
social and ecological transition. Instead of this, we need to develop and
renew public services and social protection to respond to the many unmet
needs, reduce social inequities and establish equality between women and
men. We need considerable public investments to finance energy transition,
reduce pollution, ensure the ecological conversion of the modes of
production and consumption and create millions of jobs. An obligation to
achieve permanent balanced budgets will be a major restraint on attacking
the social and ecological crisis.

In a Europe in which the customers of one country are the suppliers of the
other, the orientation begun two years ago is today leading to generalised
recession. The difficulties with PSA (The Peugeot-Citroën group) and other
companies flow directly from the collapse of demand in southern Europe.
Today purchasing power is stagnating or declining and enterprises and local
governments are reducing their investments: In this context, cutting public
expenditures can only aggravate unemployment. Starting in 2013, according to
a study undertaken by the IMF itself, bringing France’s deficit in line with
the target of 3 % of GDP announced by the government will automatically
create 300,000 more unemployed workers. The resultant reduction of tax
revenues will make reducing debt – the alleged purpose of austerity – still
more difficult, thus “justifying” a new turn of the screw.

Economically stupid, this Budgetary Pact is socially unbearable, seeing as
the “structural adjustment programmes” currently imposed on Greece and other
countries in difficulty reduce social protections, increase illegal
practices and most badly hit the precarious populations – women, youth,
workers and immigrants. Far from protecting northern European countries from
suffering the same fate as those in the south, this Pact drags the whole
Union into a depressive spiral that threatens to spread poverty. This would
mean a decline without precedent in the entire period after World War II.

Finally, this Budgetary Pact represents a denial of democracy. Not only does
it provide for quasi automatic sanctions in the case of non-adherence, but
it marginalises the national and European parliaments and makes of the
Commission and the European Court of Justice – non-elected organs – the
judges of national budgets. It puts in place an authoritarian federalism
that negates popular sovereignty. It puts the economy on automatic pilot,
subordinated to norms intended to reassure the financial markets whose power
is not challenged.  We do not accept this.

The social, ecological and financial world crises are worsening. They
present many dangers, which can be seen in the growing strength of extreme
xenophobic and nationalist right groups. These crises require a Europe-wide
mobilisation but in a Europe based on solidarity and democracy, a Europe
that frees itself from the grip of the financial markets. However, the
Budgetary Pact will instead reinforce the contradictions within the Eurozone
and could lead to its disintegration. France’s refusal to ratify this treaty
would be a strong signal to send to the other peoples of Europe to open up
the discussion on constructing another Europe.

This is why we, the signatory organisations of this text, reject this
Budgetary Pact that concerns everyone’s future. We demand that a broad
democratic debate be initiated in order that citizens may take possession of
this decisive issue and speak out on it. We want to make the President of
the Republic, his government and the parliamentarians face their
responsibilities.

To create this democratic debate, we call for the strengthening of already
extant local collective structures – notably those involved in a citizen’s
audit of the public debt –, and for the creation of new structures if need
be; together, we will organise a series of public debates throughout France;
we will speak to every deputy and senator of the parliamentary majority and
invite citizens to do the same, and we will organise demonstrations,
including a large unified demonstration in Paris on Sunday, September 30. An
organisational committee has already been put in place to assure the success
of these initiatives.
