In European Parliament on Thursday 10 October, Claire abstains from a motion about EU workers’ rights and unemployment, pointing out the bureaucratic attempts to appropriate the working classes’ historic struggle for their rights. She also points out the sheer hypocrisy of EU’s virtue signalling about workers’ rights whilst simultaneously imposing austerity and preventing member states from determining their own economic policies. While she supports workers having rights, she encourages fellow Europeans to take a stand against the bureaucratic nature of the EU.
