As enormous empirical evidence shows, the austerity policies appliedon the occasion of the 2008 financial crisis led to a weakening of thecontractual power of unions, a large increase in inequality, poverty andunemployment, which in 2019 was not fully recovered. They also broughta weakening of essential public services for the community such ashealth, education, care for dependent people or the protection providedby the Social Security Systems. In this panorama, the new crisis of Covid-19 unleashed, and it threatens even more what was once called the“European social modelµ, one of the essential pieces of the European integrationprocess. Austerity policies were imposed through legal mechanismsof very doubtful compatibility with the Treaties, such as the treatyestablishing the Stability Mechanism and the Stability Coordination andGovernance Treaty of the Economic and Monetary Union, both from2012 that grant aid to the States subjected to a “strict conditionalityµ,that is to say, the reforms that have caused the aforementioned consequences.Insisting at the present time on those erroneous policies based on fallacy of composition would seriously endanger the EU’s survival asit was conceived by its founders.
