“Europe has brought us a depression worse than 1929. It has led to entire peoples being broken and humiliated, like the Greeks, all for the sake of preserving the infernal instrument of the euro. This whole disaster has been adorned by a chain of lies, shouted ever louder because they are afraid that the colossal damage they have done will be discovered.”
–– Claudio Borghi, Catholic University of Milan
MK note: With home-grown events over the past few months dominating Americans’ thinking, most of us have forgotten the developing problems in Europe. These center mostly around the euro and the demanding economic matrix that goes with it. Borghi reminds us of what is at stake in Europe. Elements in Italy are pushing for a quick election as early as February, which no doubt will become a referendum on the euro. Germany will also conduct an election in February under similar circumstances, and the Eurozone just put the clamps on Greece’s bailout program to what end no one knows. All of these events will engage nationalist sympathies and inclinations. Europe is about to be tested.
