"Madam President, the fire has now started to reach Germany’s house; the fire that Chancellor Merkel lit with her disastrous declarations, and which she has been having to hide, without, however, stopping Europe from being buried ever deeper in its inability to tackle market speculation. Germany is pushing us into running blindly ahead, and it is idiocy. It is political idiocy that will not ease the markets’ lack of confidence or prevent the destruction of the euro.
The Commission’s duty, Commissioner, is not to go backwards; it is to stop this criminal insanity. What we need at this critical point is for the European Council to learn from firemen and announce that the European Central Bank is going to operate as a central bank; that it will, therefore, be a lender of last resort for our Member States; that we will mutualise the debt; that we will attempt to harmonise taxes and declare a financial transaction tax, so as to stem the flow of resources towards tax havens and invest in European policies that give concrete expression to the words ‘solidarity’ and ‘convergence’, in order to save the euro."@en1
