In the former German Democratic Republic, the FdJ was the youth organisation. And back then, Merkel was chief secretary for propaganda in the FdJ. She has learned the business from fundaments on. Thus her - historically wrong - claim that the EU is Europe, and that the EU-Europe could not be without the Euro. Like she is known for loving to use this phrase of that what she wants and decides is "without alternative", and thus prhibits any questions, criticism, search for alternatives. But the top of the list is the claim that it were the EU bringing peace to Europe, and that now only the Euro currency would secure peace in Europe, becasue that is what united currency do. American civil war, anyone? How many different dollars did they have? Just one, I think. A currency alone being the guarantee for peace? And the EU having brought peace to Europe? What about NATO? The external threat by the Soviets that dictated unity?
People are sick of being decided behind locked doors. They are tired of being assumed completely stupid and fed off with emtpy phrases and stupid slogans. The debt crisis - is also a crisis of fundamental mistrust in the EU polit bureau, its Lisbon self-legitimation dictate, and the autocratic club of heads of states.
