In order to do this, and to lower relative wages \u2013 that is to say the difference between the value of the good produced and the value paid to the worker for its production \u2013, it is imperative to keep on lowering Europeans\u2019 quality of life. <\/p>\n<p>A new European social model? No, rather a diktat from the stone-cold German exporting machine \u2013 via the imposed European technocracy \u2013 that is now having a direct impact on the level of wages, with the help of the surveillance of our budgetary policies. Structural reforms, budgetary stringency, and progressive dismantling of social benefits and of the public sector are the cures for emaciation imposed by Germany, who finally seem to be coming to the end of their tether since unemployment is getting considerably worse and entrenching itself over a range of 12 to 30% in countries like Italy, Spain and Greece.  \t<\/p>\n<p>So, employers will be able to drive wages down even further because high unemployment eliminates all room to manoeuvre and negotiate for working people. Germany can therefore savour its victory because mass unemployment and unstable work are the keys to improving their sacrosanct productivity. We need to understand it once and for all: impoverishing citizens and exploiting them is the sine qua non condition for maintaining the profitability of Europe\u2019s great capital, and for the comfort of Brussels\u2019s technocracy that is liable for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What European social model?
