[Excerpt from the statement]

This commercial globalisation has disastrous consequences: malnutrition affecting 800 million people worldwide, disease, pollution, deterioration of education and health systems, mass unemployment, increase in precarious work, destruction of societies, particularly through forced displacement of populations, rural exodus and armed conflicts, widespread corruption (both in the South and the North), proliferation of mafias, etc.
