The Six Pack and the Fiscal Compact should be withdrawn as they prevent from investing in the public sector and they impose a restriction of the public expense. ● Huge resources coming from the ESF -European social fund- and ERDF -European regional development fund- must be addressed to the development of educational systems of the countries with lower investment rates and higher rates of ESL and unemployment.
