"Last week, the Union had to save a ‘match point’ using the European Central Bank.
In the short term, it had to underwrite limitless sovereign debt to save the euro and to overcome the unfair financial instability in several countries for the benefit of others, but in the medium and long term there is a need to change the baton and rhythm of this out-of-tune European orchestra. Instead of cutting back on consolidated rights, it needs to be tough on profiteers, tax havens and subsidies for unproductive companies. There needs to be more union and political decisiveness.
I support the proposal to equalise income made by a leader, as long as it is not an obstacle, meaning that the countries with healthier finances, which earn through borrowing money, stop stimulating their own economy and those of their neighbours and partners in the common European company.
In the case of Asturias, for example, my constituency of origin, an important French newspaper asked whether the closed coalmines would need to be reopened on yesterday’s front page. Let us consider very carefully whether it would be better not to close those that remain open, which provide energy and social security. I was a tennis player, and I know that after you have saved a ‘match point’ the next return of serve is equally or even more important."@en1
