The global financial crisis is affecting every aspect of our lives, threatening jobs, savings, pensions and public services everywhere. 

It's time for citizens around Europe to raise our voices and demand that the fundamental causes of this crisis be addressed! We need tough rules to stop the financiers' folly, and a new framework that better serves the public interest. Equality, social justice and solidarity should be considered as our core global values. It's urgent that we increase the level of democracy, transparency and accountability of the institutions dealing with financial regulation and supervision. Our vision of the financial system we want is clear: we want to create well-functioning and efficient financial markets that are capable of providing long-term, green, job-creating investments to achieve global development.
