European Parliament
Luís Paulo Alves  (S&D ),
in writing.
(PT)
I am voting for this report, as I believe that guidance on fiscal consolidation should be based on social justice in order not to increase the risk of poverty, and should take account of the additional efforts that families are making in order to combat unemployment and mitigate the social consequences of the crisis. The main aim should be to promote growth in the short term, as well as in the medium and long term.
