Greece and the EU share a common fate

„These days will determine the future of Greece and the European Union, either strengthening them both or leading to their decline. It is clear now that the problem is not simply economic – it has far-reaching consequences for Greece and for the future (and very existence) of the Union. Our country and the EU share a common fate. This was not so evident when danger appeared to be limited to the loss of confidence in the euro if Greece were forced to leave the common currency. Now the big question is whether the Union itself can survive when its leaders appear unable to prevent a small problem from poisoning the whole system. If the EU cannot solve the problem with Greece, the very foundations of the idea of a united Europe will be questioned.
