Question: La Unión Europea -y al mismo tiempo las dos grandes corrientes políticas, socialdemócratas y cristianodemócratas- han contraído al respecto una grave responsabilidad, pues con la observación dogmática de las estrictas políticas presupuestarias de la Unión Económica y Monetaria, con el desmantelamiento el estado del bienestar, con la deificación de una competencia incontrolada, ha empujado a amplios sectores sociales a la marginalidad, y ha brindado a demagogos de extrema derecha como Haider la posibilidad de reclutar partidarios para su proyecto neonazi.
