ZeroHedge: Finns Prepare For Euro’s End: “Deeply Suspicious” of EU’s ‘Gang of Four’
Be prepared for the next great transfer of wealth. Buy physical silver and storable food.
While not advocating the break-up of the Euro-zone, Finland’s foreign minister Erkki Tuomioja told the Daily Telegraph this evening that “it is only a matter of time”. In a somewhat stunning show of truthiness, perhaps the first cracks in Europe’s Nash Equilibrium are starting to show through following Monti’s ‘threats’, Draghi’s ‘promises’, and Merkel’s ‘well, nothings’. The Finn continues, via Reuters, “Either the south or the north will break away because this currency strait-jacket is causing misery for millions and destroying Europe’s future.”
Finland, which has a veto that could be used to block any new bailout measures, has already stirred the pot unilaterally by demanding collateral from Greece and Spain, is quite clear in its view that Europe “is a total catastrophe” but adds that no-one wants to be first to get out of the Euro and take all the blame.
Insisting that the break-up of the Euro does not mean the end of the European Union, Tuomioja believes “it could make the EU function better,” but comments that he is deeply suspicious of the ‘gang of four’ – which includes Draghi – with regard his promises (especially ESM seniority) adding that he “does not trust these people.”
