The EUR 800 billion under ReArm EU and the EUR 150 billion of loans under SAFE, which will line the pockets of the monopolistic groups developing the EU's war economy, along with the surging war spending of NATO countries, rising to 5 % of GDP by 2032, signal a war frenzy that the people will pay for with dramatic cuts to social services and with their blood. The plundering of workers' insurance funds is already being promoted through the Savings and Investments Union, wage stagnation and soaring exploitation, as provided for in the Greek Government's bill for 13-hour workdays, based on Directive 88/2023 on working time, unaffordable housing, expensive 'green energy' and drastic cuts in healthcare, education and civil protection in the name of cost.

Stresses that there are no ways or means to ensure the safety of workers and residents in the face of military transport, in the context of military mobility, least of all by abolishing all control within the framework of a 'military Schengen'. Military mobility itself, which is part of the EU's war plans and fierce imperialist rivalries, signals the automatic transformation of transport networks into battlefields and possible targets of retaliation, given that attacking enemy supply lines has long played a critical role in determining the outcome of a war.

The participation of the EU and the Member States in the fierce rivalries of NATO and the US with China and Russia serves the interests of monopolistic groups and their plans for domination over energy and trade routes. This leads to bloodshed among the people. Typical examples are the massacres in Ukraine and the Middle East, where the occupying state of Israel is perpetrating the crime of genocide against the Palestinian people through starvation and displacement with the support of the EU and the US;
