Quotes in this article

Beppe Grillo : “L’Europe a été une merveilleuse idée qu’ont eu Jacques Delors et Willy Brandt, mais elle a échoué en essayant de rassembler des économies très loin les unes des autres. C’est aussi valable pour l’euro qui n’aurait pas dû être une même monnaie pour tous. Le mieux serait deux monnaies. Angela Merkel et l’Allemagne pourraient revenir au deutschmark et nous aurions un euro moins fort et utilisé par les pays d’europe du sud comme la Grèce, l’Espagne, l’Italie, le Portugal et même en Irlande. Nous pourrions former un Eurogroupe différent. Asseyons-nous et discutons-en. Nous n’avons rien à perdre. Nous avons déjà perdu 30% de notre économie depuis que nous avons rejoint l’euro. Notre économie est train d’imploser à cause du manque de perspectives. Les entreprises s’effondrent et la dette publique augmente au lieu de réduire”
