Re: The Eurogreens on Eurozone Economic Governance (none / 0)

Would translating it into other European languages and submitting it (assuming we can get permission) to local papers be worthwhile?

I don't think El País or The Independent need us to translate and reprint articles from Le Monde... They do it all the time...

I was under the impression that they only did that when they could put their own newsie's name on it. Do they routinely plagiarise op-eds as well?

At least El Pais does. They also reprint Krugman's op-eds from the NYT often enough.

There is an ongoing partnership between Le Monde and El Pais, which holds 15% of Le Monde's shares. The same kind of partnership involves Le Monde, La Repubblica and the NYT, so they often share resources and articles.

I do think it would be worthwhile to have such an article published widely in the EU. However, it does seem that the French and German Greens are mostly addressing themselves to their national constituents. This should be taken as an opportunity to point out the need to transcend national borders and electoral districts, especially when you're the only political party making sense.

Just the only ones allowed to be mentioned in polite company.
The deputy chairman of the German Left party produced this (Ger, pdf)

She demands among other things: reduction of imbalances through higher wages and social services in Germany, funding of government deficits via ECB credit, nationalisation of big credit institutes and coordinated partial defaults along the line of Argentina at least in the € zone and possibly in the whole EU.

See afew's German Uprising quoting the FT:

... it was left to Gesine Lötzsch, co-leader of the Linke party, to warn that all the efforts at "saving the euro" were really about "saving our banks from their bad debts."
Accusing the government of failing to take action to regulate the financial markets, she challenged Ms Merkel: "It is time for you to admit: are you negotiating on behalf of German citizens, or are you negotiating on behalf of German banks?"
