Essay on Why Germany Should Hold a Referendum on Europe - SPIEGEL ONLINE
After World War II, the West gave Germany two great gifts. The first
gift was democracy; the second gift was being integrated into a Europe
of free nations. This also included the overriding vision that one day
both gifts could be combined to create a democratic United States of
Europe. But there was a lack of determination and strength to accomplish
this. To make matters worse, both gifts have suffered from the attempt
to use a common currency to integrate Europe. Postwar German democracy
has never been in such a sorry state as today. It has been a long time
since the peoples of Europe eyed each other with so much mistrust.
Folks: This is a balance sheet depression.
