Leverage is the stuff of politics as well as physics. At first glance, holding €1.8trn of funding hostage seems a strong lever to pull. Economies in southern Europe are gasping for the cash. But it is a kamikaze attack.
tambem e maneira dos politicamente corretos pensarem 2 vezes antes meterem maquina guerra nos alvos dos direitolas do leste
Unlike rules of physics, rules of politics can be bent. The danger is that the new mechanism will become another Stability and Growth Pact, the bloc’s oft-maligned but usually ignored rules on government spending. According to the pact, eu countries are expected to keep their deficits below 3% of gdp in any given year and their debts below 60% of gdp. Even in good times, these targets were missed, but consequences were few. Technically countries could be fined. None ever was.

agora querem por dinheiro em forma ideologia que nao afeta paises esquerdistas do sul
nunca foram penalizados nem grecia o foi .....so agora inventaram penalizar paises direitolas
