"Mr President, now that Berlin has imposed a technocrat as Prime Minster of Greece, do you think that the country also needs a European Minister of Finance on top of that? Does Chancellor Merkel not know that the worst thing you can do to a people is to humiliate them, forcing them to crawl?
Mr President, there was a joke in the Soviet Union in Brezhnev’s time: the train of the revolution had lost its locomotive and the party, instead of fixing it, was asking the passengers to jump off. Of course, the train was just vibrating rather than moving, but the leaders, or rather elders, of that country only knew how to make believe. The same can be said of the current leaders of the EU. Time and again, they persist with the same formula, despite the failure of its results.
One day this will change. One day jobs will matter more than the markets. One day we will stop pretending."@en1
