Re: Pacta sunt..? (4.00 / 3)
I don't think German governing and financial elites ever wanted Greece in the euro, and were happy to seize the wall-slamming opportunity.

I wouldn't concentrate on Germany in this instance. It's clear from the record that it's the EU-wide economic policy establishment, irrespective of nationality, that has been responsible for the wall-slamming. The Ecofin and the Commission in particular.

The critique by Daniel Cohn Bendit in May 2010 is forceful and on point.
