Austerity policies may leave additional
25 million Europeans below the poverty line by 2025, international
charity organization Oxfam said.
The head of the European division of
Oxfam, Natalia Alonso, said the austerity measures were nothing but
"moral and economic nonsense." In her opinion, the cuts for social
assistance, education, medicine, and unfair tax policies, can reverse
the results of decades of struggle for social rights.
At the same time, European Commission
President Jose Manuel Barroso calls on EU countries to continue reforms
even after economic growth resumes.
