Interesting that to my knowledge none of the German major internet news outlets I skim every day, or see on TV, has reported this story.
For the German economy, that scenario in the short term would be an end with terror. Which maybe still is better than in the medium and long term a terror without end. But a catastrophic mistake - the early introduction of the Euro - does not become less a mistake just because you waste time with waiting and waitrin g, and then waiting longer. That damn thing came decades too early, in an economic context that was anything but supportive for the concept. It was a dedicated ignoring of unwanted realities.
