ARD Anne Will – Germany’s Role in the Eurozone After Greece and France Reject Austerity
In this May 2012 episode of Anne Will, business consultant and former Swiss ambassador to Germany Dr. Thomas Borer joins a panel including Markus Söder, Sahra Wagenknecht, Hans Eichel, Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, and Christoph Butterwegge to debate the future of the eurozone after election results in Greece and France reject austerity. Borer offers an outside perspective on the political and economic pressures facing Germany, questioning whether Berlin can or should continue to shoulder such a large share of the eurozone’s financial burden. He discusses the implications for European stability and the limits of solidarity when domestic political mandates diverge across member states.
