Summary:
A survey taken shows an increase in the number of new poor people in seven
different European countries and challenges the official European Union
discourse. It is noted that the level of poverty in Europe is far worse than it
was before and the levels of poverty is increasing. Children and youth of European
countries are more and more introduced to impoverished lives. Some say the most harm from the poverty that
Europe is experiencing is the young graduates from the new poor that are
attempting to enter into the labor market. There are people from Cyprus who are
searching for food from others and are in desperate need.
Response:
Based
on the results shown from the surveys and the new forms of poverty placed on children
and youth, Europe is on the downfall. The people of Greece watched helplessly
as Europe began to take their economic downturn since 2008. A quote from the
article "We in Brussels keep
hearing that the economic crisis is over," Thorfinnur Omarsson, a
spokesman for Caritas Europa said in Athens where the network of Catholic
relief organisations released the report. "These findings not only doubt
that the crisis is over but show it is the poor who are paying for a crisis
they did not cause.” This explains how the poor people suffer from the ill made
decisions of others who most often are rich and will not reap the repercussions.
