Lis\u00e4ksi kokouksessa viimeisteltiin ja hyv\u00e4ksyttiin manifesto \u2013 vaaliohjelma EGP:lle. Olen poiminut viestin loppuun manifestosta kohtia, jotka joko suoraan koskevat ik\u00e4ihmisi\u00e4 tai joilla on liittym\u00e4kohtia ik\u00e4ihmisten tilanteeseen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seurasin lukuisia mielenkiintoisia keskusteluja mm. aiheista:<\/p>\n\n\n\n ENGSin yleiskokoukseen ja hallituksen kokoukseen osallistui meid\u00e4n nelj\u00e4n lis\u00e4ksi kaksi ulkopuolista, toinen Skotlannista ja toinen Saksasta. Kokouksissa<\/p>\n\n\n\n – – –<\/p>\n\n\n\n We want a Europe . . . where the elderly do not live in abject poverty . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Poverty.<\/strong> Today, one in four people in Europe live at risk of poverty and social exclusion \u2013 including 25 million children. This is unacceptable. When Europe as a whole is wealthier than ever before, everybody deserves a decent standard of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reducing poverty and tackling inequalities must be a cornerstone of all economic and social policies. We reject austerity measures that have resulted in increasing poverty and deteriorating public services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Social rights<\/strong>. To make the European Pillar of Social Rights a reality, we call for introducing European legislation to secure adequate minimum income schemes in all European countries. This adequate level of social support would be provided by member states to all people without other sources of income, taking the local living standards and differences in national systems into account and aiming at equivalent protection to all citizens. Existing standards can not be lowered. We also believe bold visions are needed, which could be supported by studies and trials on a universal basic income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inclusion and cohesion.<\/strong> Europe should not leave anyone behind \u2013 be it remote or sparsely populated regions or vulnerable groups of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Education, research and culture.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our long-term vision is free and accessible education for all to reduce education inequality. Education should equip people to develop the skills needed in the green information economy. Everyone should have the opportunity for life-long learning and career changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elderly. <\/strong>The proportion of older people is rising rapidly. With the right enabling framework, senior Europeans have a lot to offer, from passing on experience at work to volunteering in civil society, which should lead to some sort of recognition No one should need to live in poverty because of retiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is also large potential in the fair, social, collaborative and care economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kokous pidettiin Euroopan Vihre\u00e4n puolueen EGP:n neuvoston kokouksen yhteydess\u00e4.

as adopted by EGP Council, Berlin, 23 \u2013 25 November 2018<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Time to renew the promise of Europe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Senior workers must also have the right to lifelong learning. People should be allowed to retire flexibly, for example by combining reduced working hours with part-time pensions. We need to fight prejudice and discrimination against ageing workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
