German MEP Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, who has Greek origins, was upset with German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the summit in Brussels because of her statements that “a Solidarity Fund will lead to a European budget, to achieve convergence.”
MEP Chatzimarkakis noted that Merkel puts next autumn as a time limit for the fund creation in order to have enough time to prepare the German public, so “we will not have important evolutions and decisions up to the elections and this endangers multifaceted losses for Europe.”
Chatzimarkakis stressed that “in the coming months, there should be substantive policies that will contribute to the recovery of Greece, providing jobs.”
He concluded, “German government should not act like a Good Samaritan who helps and finances the whole of Europe because they took advantage of the bad financial situation and implemented an aggressive policy with interest rates, and as a result they had huge profits against countries of the South and now they are just trying to return some of them.”
