While the situation is a little less hectic in Greece and that the country’s banks were authorized by the government of Alexis Tsipras to open their doors Monday, Francois Hollande said that France is ready to participate “in a stronger organization” of the euro area.
In an article published by the weekly Le Journal du Dimanche, the president also said that France could be “with the countries that will decide on a forefront “.
“The eurozone has managed this week to reaffirm its cohesion with Greece. The quality of the Franco-German relationship has been there for many. The European spirit has prevailed, “wrote the head of state in a folder of the Journal du Dimanche devoted to the former Minister and President of the European Commission Jacques Delors, who celebrates his 90th birthday Monday.
An output that has reacted. “The French proposal is rejected by our partners,” tweeted Raffarin
.
For his part, Le Pen said: “The euro is a failure, as was again demonstrated the Greek case, so do even more euro! This is the reasoning that François Hollande reaffirmed in the JDD this morning his desire of a government of the euro area, and even a parliament and a budget in the area.
For Valls, the founding countries of the EU must be the “vanguard” called by Holland
Prime Minister said Sunday Avignon that it is “France, Germany, Italy, the founding countries” of the EU, which must be the “vanguard” in the euro area desired by Francois Hollande. “The idea that there is a vanguard in which France, Germany, Italy, the founding countries commit fully, yes I think it is important,” said Manuel Valls on press to exit a meeting with the entertainment in the prefecture of Avignon. “We must fully back the initiative, that is what the President of the Republic since 2012, his voice was isolated, now it is shared, I welcome it,” continued the tenant of Matignon, engaged in a Cultural tour from Saturday to Monday night, that will lead, after Avignon, Arles and Aix-en-Provence. “The voice of France is essential for Europe and France is, with this president, fully back on the European stage, therefore ability to show his strength, his powers of persuasion to more solidarity, more for Liability at European level “, stressed Manuel Valls. “Germany knows that we must take initiatives but it must be done in a constructive dialogue, with respect for everyone in a Franco-German dialogue that does not exclude dialogue with other countries,” said the former interior minister.
“Specific Budget”
“But we can not stop there. I offered to take up the idea of Jacques Delors the Government of the euro area and add a specific budget and a Parliament to ensure democratic control “, adds the head of state.
“Sharing a currency, this is much more than wanting a convergence. It is a choice that 19 countries have done so because it was their interest. No government also for fifteen years has taken the responsibility to get out, “says Francois Hollande.
” We must rebuild this economic and monetary union “
” This choice calls for a strengthened organization and the countries which decide in a vanguard. France is ready because, as Jacques Delors has shown us, it always grows when it is at the initiative of Europe, “he says.
When asked in the same issue of the weekly, Jacques Delors himself considers that the current system of the European Union and the euro area” is no longer governable. ” “This can not continue. We must rebuild this economic and monetary union. Will they do it? There was a start to construction defect. There was also nonsense and an inability of the eurozone to end it “, analyzes Jacques Delors.
He said that” in the current situation, the worst was avoided . But Europe is not a moral power, I say the good moral sense. We must rebuild the moral power which made the Europe’s strength in other periods, such as when the Berlin Wall “.
