Die Welt: Alone and disliked in Europe Merkel

Die Welt: Alone and disliked in Europe Merkel


H Chancellor Merkel after the last two defeats in local elections (Meklemvougo-Pomerania and Berlin) still has two open fronts: the south, while refusing to continue the austerity policy and the east to accept refugees. The policy now becomes a special way, and it has become much more disliked in Europe than most Germans want to admit. In Southern Europe formed a second front against German domination of Europe, along with the intransigent refusal of Eastern Europe for any compromise on refugees. In Greece politicians of the ruling Syriza have not forgotten the humiliation and national impoverishment of past years. Now backs and Italian Matteo Renzi for a Mediterranean «new deal», writes among other comment in the conservative Die Welt.

The characterization of the European Union summit in Bratislava as a "cruise on the Danube" by Matteo Renzi, must have been to Angela Merkel a slap, since much work invested in many diplomatic contacts. Finally the meeting ended in fiasco, since there was no way to consensus on the major issues of the continent. So loneliness Chancellor grows not only in refugee because long been associated with other problems.

In Greece, Portugal, southern Italy and Spain, hundreds of thousands of graduates living on meager pension of grandparents, resorting to their parents or trying to flee abroad. Unlike the rich Germany, the Mediterranean there are surpluses to feed the refugees, says the German newspaper

And in the east not even think to obey the dictates of Germany. The outcome of tomorrow's referendum in Hungary would only ratify the tough policy towards refugees Orban with fences to protect the border. And Hungarian prime minister is not alone long.

No politician of any political hue between Bratislava and Bucharest can not understand why, while hundreds of thousands of their own citizens have to migrate within Europe, often without their children, have to accept economic migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh or Senegal.

Merkel has no ally except commission. Cameron in which maintained friendly relations is past, like Britain as a member of the EU Austrian Chancellor Faiman has resigned and Mariano Rajoy was not on the agenda even Bratslava contacts for talks with Chancellor, it is just a prime minister without power.

And the socialists in Spain dismantled themselves as crushed between Podemos and preservatives. Thus, the last friendly Merkel government has destabilized permanently.

Portugal discussed from an extreme left coalition the introduction of tax for the rich as well as discussed and investing public in response to the economic crisis.

In Greece politicians of the ruling Syriza have not forgotten the humiliation and national impoverishment of past years. Now backs and Italian Matteo Renzi with the voices which say they can not continue the pragmatic policy of Merkel, regardless of whether a Mediterranean «new deal» hurts or not the Stability Pact and the euro. Renzo is politically in a vice from which it can not release the German policy of strict austerity.
