"The Council’s conclusions are the umpteenth exercise in pushing at an open door. The simulation of growth, the implementation of the 2020 strategy and the further development of the EU, we have heard it all before.
You can hold all the meetings you want but as long as you stick your heads in the sand about the fundamental problems of the European Union, the situation will go from bad to worse. A common currency for a continent with so much diversity is doomed to fail. We should cherish this diversity and not ruin ourselves with even more centralisation and control from Brussels. The euro is not worth that.
Besides, a majority of the citizens in Europe do not want to transfer more powers to Brussels. Everyone knows that, unless they are blind. We are all democrats, are we not? Why are these signals coming from society not being taken seriously?
What has to happen before you finally see the error of your ways and come to the unavoidable conclusion that it can no longer go on like this. Even more economic austerity, unemployment and social unrest? This project is completely off the rails politically, economically and democratically.
Give the citizens back their freedom and release them from the crushing bonds of monetary union. That would do justice to democracy and offer a chance of economic recovery."@en1
