The limits of solidarity

Gandul newspaper writes that EU solidarity stops at Eastern Europe: "The Eastern European countries accuse the Western states of protectionism - a practice that could divide the continent anew 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. However what we are seeing is not a traditional protectionism with customs borders ... but a new more subtle form that sneaks in the back door. Above all it can be seen in the financial sector, where governments grant injections of funds or capitalise banks while obliging the beneficiaries to keep the money in the country or to consume local products. ... It's already hard enough to convince an Austrian to spend more money to save a fellow Austrian from unemployment. And it's all the harder, if not impossible, to get him to do the same for a Romanian or a Czech. This crisis is also showing us that there are limits to solidarity. Politicians and average citizens now feel their interests no longer extend beyond their country's borders."
