Debate with the Prime Minister of Greece, Alexis Tsipras, on the Future of Europe (debate)
Ana Gomes (S&D). – Mr President, I would like to express my full solidarity and to thank those who remarked how the neoliberal recipe of unaccountable technocratic bodies such as the Troika and the Eurogroup increased poverty, unemployment and social inequalities in Greece and elsewhere in Europe. What, then, is to be said about the loss of control by Greece and the European Union of critical strategic infrastructures, such as Piraeus Port and the telecommunications and energy networks which Greece had to sell to China as a result of the privatisation frenzy imposed by the neoliberal tracker programmes?
How are Greece and the EU to overcome such a strategic loss of control, which places in question our collective security?
