Otto Ozols believes in a Europe that can beat crises

Despite the ongoing euro crisis Europe must continue to believe in its strengths, writes journalist Otto Ozols on the web portal tvnet.lv: "Yes, Europe is in a financial crisis right now. But other states like the US are too. And despite this Europe has a considerably more healthy and better educated society. … Right now Europe is ahead of other regions in terms of development and is also dealing with the problems more developed states have to contend with. Experience has shown that Europe has the power to solve its problems on its own. It has waded through financial, economic and political crises in the last ten years and survived them all. So there's no reason to get hysterical and panic. … Europe takes care of its people and is building its progress not on ruthless capitalism and brute external force like the US or the slavery of comparatively cheap labour as in China. It also doesn't have as many mineral resources as Russia. This is precisely why it makes sense to believe in this Europe."
