Coronavirus heralds the collapse of the European Union the scenario of the USSR. With such a forecast made by marine Le Pen. The threat of collapse and warned her staunch opponent, the financier George Soros. Both of these predictions were made after for the first time in the history of the top of the EU threatened to impose sanctions on its reference country, Germany. Will Germany due conflict with Brussels from the European Union, as it has done Britain?
the European Union has been “a certain strangeness” — there was the issue of sanctions against Germany, was surprised on Tuesday, Russian Senator Alexey Pushkov. “Is — for the first time. Against “illiberal” Hungary — fine, anti-authoritarian Poland — all right, but the sanctions procedure against the Holy of holies? Against the centre of the EU in the face of Germany? Unprecedented,” wrote Pushkov.
“So European bureaucracy asserts its priority over the private the members. including in this case Germany. That is why Britain is “has legs” of the EU: the former Empire to toe the line due solutions nameless Kafkaesque bureaucracy was unbearable,” wrote Pushkov.
over the weekend the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has threatened to start proceedings against Germany in connection with the decision of the German constitutional court on 5 may on the partial inconsistency of actions of the European Central Bank the basic law of Germany. This fact seems to be especially spicy, if you remember that the von der Leyen — German, until recently, held the post of Minister of defence of Germany. In the armchair of the head of the European government, she was only six months ago, with the filing of his older colleague, Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Earlier, German political analyst Alexander Rahr in an interview with the newspaper VZGLYAD said the decision of the constitutional court of Germany of 5 may “landmark” because the unity of the EU in that day was dealt a “devastating blow”. “Important is the fact that the highest national judicial authority of Germany condemned and called unconstitutional policy of the European Central Bank,” said Rahr.
the Essence of the decision, is this: from the beginning of the “coronaries” ECB bought the debt of public and private companies across Europe, said the source. He then roughly began to print money, to balance the situation. The German constitutional court essentially accused the European Central Bank in reducing the costs of a common currency and thereby creating a situation of social injustice. In fact, the ECB hits the pocket of ordinary Germans, stressed the analyst. “Brussels will have to make enormous efforts to re-consolidate the Union. And get it is difficult to say”, — said Rahr.
American billionaire George Soros has also considered the decision of the German court extremelythe tea event. In an interview with British newspaper the Independent the day before he predicted the collapse of the European Union.
“if Hungary and Poland to decide whether they want to follow European laws or its own courts, whose legitimacy was questioned by the EU? This issue touches the heart of the EU, which is based on the rule of law. Poland immediately took the opportunity and declared the superiority of its government-controlled courts over the European legislation,” says Soros.
Personally familiar with Soros the CEO of the Russian international Affairs Council expert discussion club “Valdai” Andrey Kortunov noted on this occasion that the financier generally inclined to the “drama projections”, which, as a rule, do not come true. “Soros had a year ago predicted the collapse of the EU and debt default in Ukraine, but it is not true. We must remember that Soros is not merely a financial theorist, he is a very large investor, so it is sometimes the forecasts can be determined by its business interests. It can play on the increase or decrease. At the time, he tried to undermine the German mark after caused heavy damage to the British pound,” he said Kortunov newspaper VIEW.
Indeed, a year ago, Soros in his article on the website Project Syndicate resented the fact that the population of the EU is in hibernation and “if it won’t Wake up, the EU will disintegrate like the Soviet Union in 1991.”
“This conflict is very characteristic. In the EU all accustomed to the fact that the Germans always pay for all, because Germany is considered the informal leader of the EU and most interested in its preservation,” said the analyst, adding that now the Germans don’t want to take responsibility for his populist and ill-conceived decisions of other countries.
“One conflict here is not over. There will be others. After the departure of UK General budget will miss up to 20%. That means we need to cut costs. Many countries, especially in Central and Eastern Europe that remain recipients, not donors, to resist. They insist that the old Europe has increased its contribution”, — said the analyst.
Brussels has no clear plan for the withdrawal of the EU from the crisis, says the head of the Center for economic research Institute of globalization and social movements Vasily Koltashov. “We will have to turn a serious economic depression. So some rich EU countries may raise the question: why shouldn’t they act independently?” he said the newspaper VIEW. In his opinion, one of the main problems of the EU economy becomes overvalued Euro, which increases the cost of manufacture and granting of services for example, prevents recovery of the tourism industry.
“that Arise insurvey of how to get out of depression — together or individually? This means exit from the EU. Moreover, the output of under effect of eurocrate will not occur in a vacuum, and in the zone of Russian of gravitation. On the continent in Europe, there is only one counterweight is Russia, with which many European Nations will now look for normalization of relations. We are seeing the emergence of centrifugal tendencies in the EU”, — the expert predicts.
“At his disposal remains a lot of leverage, especially the money of the ECB. Therefore, the authorities must come to a fundamentally new forces ready to challenge the elite of the European Union”, — said Koltashov.
In France, one of these new forces, obviously, may become a National Association, which is headed by marine Le Pen.
Instead of Le Poprelay to create a “Europe of Nations” based on respect for the national characteristics of each country. French politician said that coronavirus crisis marked the beginning of these changes, returning into the everyday life of Europeans such words as “boundaries”, “sovereignty” and “national interests”.
Meanwhile, Russian Senator Pushkov believes that the EU days are numbered. Germany will not be his ruin, because it is the main exporter of products to the EU market and the main beneficiary of the single currency in the Euro. Berlin and gets from the Alliance much more than other countries, says the Senator.
Pushkov suggested that Germany would “remain dependent on the USA as the country, forced to reckon with the European bureaucracy, which it imposed on Europe, getting this huge benefit.” “Even at the cost of possible sanctions which may imposed against it all the same will not be”, — said Pushkov.
