"The crisis in the euro area is reaching a climax in a Europe dominated by right-wing governments. It is these governments, each more wary and selfish than the next, that are demanding endless guarantees, promises, and sanctions against the ‘naughty schoolchildren’ before they will agree to lend an ounce of solidarity. By dragging its feet over the implementation of bail-out plans for Greece, the coalition of the cautious is basically turning what ought to be a strong movement of solidarity into a waste of public money down a bottomless pit. Help granted piecemeal is of no use at all to our fellow country Greece, as it continues to come under attack from speculators. Are we going to allow the patient to die by putting him in quarantine and waiting? What exactly are we waiting for? Are we waiting to do the same tomorrow with Italy, Ireland, or Spain, which are showing the same symptoms? Since the epidemic is being passed on by the banks, as it is to them that the States are indebted, let us stop lying to ourselves: breaking up the euro area and the European Union will not save anyone from generalised economic collapse. What we need is to get investment going again, for lasting growth – but when is this message going to be heard?"@en1
