THE EUROPE WIDE PETITION
‘We, the citizens of countries across Europe, call for:
- A European conference to agree debt cancellation for Greece and other countries that need it, informed by debt audits and funded by recovering money from the banks and financial speculators who were the real beneficiaries of bailouts.
- An end to the enforcing of austerity policies that are causing injustice and poverty in Europe and across the world.
- The creation of UN rules to deal with government debt crises promptly, fairly and with respect for human rights, and to signal to the banks and financiers that we won’t keep bailing them out for reckless lending’
