Spain’s Sovereign Thunderclap And The End of Merkel’s Europe!

March 6, 2012 by mosesman

  • Spain and Italy are the hot potatoes in this Eurozone sovereign debt crisis. If they fall, and they are likely to do so, it is game over! Trust me: the casinos are taking bets on when the Eurozone will fall and not whether!

    Spain’s sovereign thunderclap and the end of Merkel’s Europe! 
    By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ 
    The Spanish rebellion has begun, sooner and more dramatically than I expected.
    –
    As many readers will already have seen, Premier Mariano Rajoy has refused point blank to comply with the austerity demands of the European Commission and the European Council (hijacked by Merkozy).
    –
    Taking what he called a “sovereign decision”, he simply announced that he intends to ignore the EU deficit target of 4.4pc of GDP for this year, setting his own target of 5.8pc instead (down from 8.5pc in 2011).
    –
    In the twenty years or so that I have been following EU affairs closely, I cannot remember such a bold and open act of defiance by any state. Usually such matters are fudged. Countries stretch the line, but do not actually cross it.
    –
    With condign symbolism, Mr Rajoy dropped his bombshell in Brussels after the EU summit, without first notifying the commission or fellow EU leaders. Indeed, he seemed to relish the fact that he was tearing up the rule book and disavowing the whole EU machinery of budgetary control.
    –
    He is surely right to seize the initiative. Spain’s economy will contract by 1.7pc this year under his modified plans and unemployment will reach 24pc (or 29pc under the 1990s method of counting). To compound this with manic fiscal tightening – and no offsetting devaluation – is intellectually indefensible.
    –
    There comes a point when a democracy can no longer sacrifice its citizens to please reactionary ideologues determined to impose 1930s scorched-earth policies. Ya basta. What is striking is the wave of support for Mr Rajoy from the Spanish commentariat.
    –
    This one from Pablo Sebastián left me speechless. My loose translation:
    –
    “Spain isn’t any old country that will allow itself to be humiliated by the German Chancellor.”
    –
    “The behaviour of the European Commission towards Spain over recent days has been infamous and exceeds their treaty powers… these Eurocrats think they are the owners and masters of Spain.”

    It will be interesting to see which way Spain goes in the future. The people seemed to be in unrest last year when I was living in Madrid. They were constantly protesting against Zapateros handling of the economic situation and now things are getting consistently worse. Hopefully, unemployment can be brought down and the economy saved because it seems that if Italy and Spain fall, there won’t be much left of the EU.
