Since the French Socialist Party said left and two of its leading members are in favor of unbridled liberalism in international institutions, a clarification is needed. It can indeed be left and head the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or World Trade Organization (WTO), the pillars of the neoliberal world order.
statement of principles begins with the PS following lines:
He was born of the encounter between critical thinking, rich and diverse, and the action of the labor movement which for two centuries have brought a challenge to the social organization shaped by capitalism and defended the idea of a caring society where all members enjoy the same freedoms and the same rights.
He claims the memory of 1848, with the abolition of slavery, the Commune, the legacy of the Republic, his work to democracy, and his fight for secularism, the major social achievements Popular Front for the Liberation of May 68, May 81 and left governments that have followed since.
He took the great political and intellectual freedom and justice, the Dreyfus Affair to the abolition of the death penalty. He endorsed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. "
imagine how actions contradict these values more than socialist Dominique Strauss-Kahn at the IMF and Pascal Lamy at the WTO?
Officially, the role of the International Monetary Fund is " promote international monetary cooperation, to ensure financial stability, facilitate international trade to contribute to a high employment, economic stability and reducing poverty. "
The IMF provides loans to struggling countries. But in return, it requires austerity policies, liberalization of public services, privatization of state disengagement , called "structural adjustment plans .
The WTO
The purpose of the World Trade Organization is to promote trade, in fact free trade . Theoretically, it could protect full employment, consumers, health, sovereignty and food security, environment. Practically, its action is limited to trade liberalization and the has deregulation. Any action that would impede trade, such as social or environmental standards, is strongly often attacked and condemned by the WTO.
Operation is worthy of a banana republic and its policies have exacerbated inequalities between North and South.
Several large demonstrations have taken place in recent years against the WTO, notably on the occasion of cons-summits at the initiative of anti-globalization movements, peasants and union.
