Portuguese fight together against crisis

Roughly 300,000 people demonstrated in Lisbon against the conservative Portuguese government's austerity drive on the weekend. Although the Portuguese are in a similar position to the Greeks they will overcome the crisis because they act and demonstrate in unison, writes the left-leaning daily taz: "How different things are in Greece. A real mass demonstration has never taken place there because the employees' camp is too divided. Private sector employees envy the public servants, who earn so much more. And each sector is mainly concerned with its own interests. The ferry workers went on strike - and paralysed the tourist branch - without consulting other trade unions. It's every man for himself in Greece. … The Portuguese, on the other hand, are not only demonstrating collectively, they are tackling the reforms collectively. Government and opposition are working together to get the country back on its feet. What would be unthinkable in Greece works without a glitch in Portugal: when taxes are raised, they're collected too, and that's that."

Absurd wrangling over ECB chief economist

The Belgian Peter Praet will be the new chief economist at the European Central Bank, the bank announced on Tuesday. This is the first time that a German won't occupy the post. Prior to Praet's appointment there had been talk in German government circles that only a German could prevent the money press from being switched on to save the euro. The left-leaning daily taz mocks this nationalism regarding the ECB: "Because it doesn't matter and never did whether the ECB's chief economist is German or not. Consequently it makes no difference that no one wanted to entrust Jörg Asmussen with the task and that he will now have to make do with the post of ECB 'foreign minister'. Because whatever the title may be it's the majority at the ECB that has the final say. And Germany falls far short of a majority. ... All the Eurozone central banks have a vote on the ECB Executive Board - little Malta as well as big Germany. Germany's Bundesbank would therefore have had to form alliances with other central banks to push through its candidate. But in the meantime it seems to have lost all its potential allies."

Más bajo no se puede

El diario tageszeitung opina: "También en Alemania van a bajar los tipos de interés básicos como nunca. El Banco Central Europeo no podrá evitar de ningún modo seguir los pasos del Banco Central de EE.UU., que entretanto ha llegado a casi el cero por ciento de interés. Porque aunque al Banco Central, con sede en Fráncfort, le gusta presentarse a sí mismo como el poderoso guardián de un euro fuerte, la autonomía en materia de política monetaria no existe. ... Se ve cada vez más claro que el mundo camina hacia una dura crisis económica de características extraordinarias que requiere asimismo medidas inusuales. El Banco Central abrirá sus compuertas de dinero de par en par. ¿Pero ayudará eso en algo? Conviene ser más bien pesimista porque ningún descenso de los tipos de interés ha reactivado hasta ahora la economía. Además, hay un límite dentro de las perspectivas: Los tipos de interés no pueden descender por debajo del 0,0 por ciento. Los Bancos Centrales, en principio tan poderosos, son ante ello prácticamente impotentes. Este vacío sólo lo pueden llenar los Gobiernos apoyando la demanda de manera concreta mediante paquetes de ayuda. Pero la canciller [Angela] Merkel se limita a dejar pasar el tiempo."

The European Justice Court condemns social dumping

Ulrike Herrmann has mixed feelings about the - temporary - victory of the European trade unions: "In practice there are many ways to circumvent the new directive. Employees need only register themselves as self-employed persons working under contract to be able to charge whatever they want for their services. Many Eastern European tilers working as one-man-companies in Germany have already realised this... It's a schizophrenic situation: cheap labourers are allowed to produce goods for Germany in their home countries but God help them if they come to Germany and offer their cheap labour there. This schizophrenic attitude is a thinly-veiled battle against the weak. You can't blame low-paid Western Europeans for defending their jobs against their poorer competitors from abroad. Without the tariff agreements they wouldn't stand a chance. But it's a shame this victory means the losers lose yet again."
