Only very recently, as a result of the Greek government’s intense negotiations with its creditors, did Europe’s citizens realize that the world’s largest economy, the eurozone, is run by a body that lacks written rules of procedure, debates crucial matters “confidentially” (and without minutes being taken), and is not obliged to answer to any elected body, not even the European Parliament.
Het is een vergissing om de impasse tussen de Griekse regering en de Eurogroep te zien als een botsing tussen links Griekenland en het conservatieve Europese midden.
