Intervistona a Schauble sul FT.
ft.com/content/97c492…

Schauble : <The original mistake was in trying to create a common currency without a “common economic, employment and social policy” ... The fathers of the euro had decided that if they waited for political union to happen first they’d wait forever🍾, he says>
👉 👋🏻USE👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 🥂

Schauble : <“The construction of the EU has proven to be questionable,” he says. “We should have taken the bigger steps towards integration earlier on, and now, because we can’t convince the member states to take them, they are unachievable🥳”>
👉👋🏻Leuro👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 🥂🍾

Schäuble : <when its debt crisis first blew up, it should have taken a 10-year “timeout” from the eurozone — an idea he first floated with Giorgos Papakonstantinou, his Greek counterpart between 2009 and 2011 ...

... “I told him you need to be able to devalue🥳your currency, you’re not competitive”. The reforms required ... were going to be “hard to achieve in a democracy”. “That’s why you need to leave😘 the euro for a certain period. But everyone said there was no chance of that”>❤️❤️❤️

<Schäuble pushed for a temporary “Grexit” in 2015 ... He now reveals he thought about resigning over the issue. “On the morning the decision was made, [Merkel] said to me: ‘You’ll carry on?’ . . . But that was one of the instances where we were very🥳 close [to stepping down]”>

The FT <It is an extraordinary revelation>
Schau <“I always had to weigh up whether to go along with things, even though I knew it was the wrong🥳 thing to do, as was the case with Greece, or whether I should go”

Schauble conferma :
🔹Leuro senza USE non sta in piedi
🔹USE più lontani che mai
🔹Grecia doveva uscire
🔹Schauble chiese alla Grecia di uscire, sin dal 2009
👉 Godo ❤️
