«The details, procedures and way of going about this are the responsibility of the government and the state, otherwise there would be no national sovereignty.»
Questa frase è di Hollande e l'ho presa dal primo link di sopra, quello dell'incontro Merkel-Hollande:
=> http://euobserver.com/institutional/120328

Vorrei che la notasse Adam
Caro Adam,
avevo aperto un thraed in Sf poco prima della chiusura dal titolo
"Hollande scopre l'acqua calda"
in riferimento alle sprprendenti dichiarazioni di Hollande che chiedeva quanto prima (quasi ... subito!) un governo per l'Eurozona. Da una parte mi congratulavo che finalmente non fosse più u n tabù parlare apertamente di opportunità di "Unione Federale", d'altra parte mostravo le mie riserve sulla effettiva volontà di Hollande di promuovere l'idea che occorre davvero un governo europeo, il quale significa rinuncia formale e definitiva alla fasulla sovranità nazionale (almeno in materia macro-economica).
Conoscendo l'uomo (non certo nuovo alle sparate ad effetto contraddette poi dall'effettivo comportamento politico), ho giudicato una "mossa tattica" anche la sparata della richiesta urgente d'un governbo economico per l'eurozona.

Adam mi rimproverava di essere troppo diffidente.

Caro Adam: vogliamo la quadratura del cerchio?
Come conciliamo l'ostinata difesa della sovranità con il voler davvero un governo economico per l'Eurozona?

Di più: a me pare che quando un politico si attacca a discorsi chovinisti e patriottardi vuol dire che fa il populista per paura di perdere la poltrona.

Aspetto che Adam si rifaccia vivo!

Ciao a tutti
