She was especially hostile to what she saw as the excessive independence of the European Central Bank. In her last speech in Parliament as Prime Minister, she attacked the ECB as an institution “accountable to no one,” and drew attention to the political implications of centralizing monetary policy, accurately forecasting the dangers of a “democratic deficit,” which now worries many in Europe, and not just in Cyprus or Portugal.
她特别反对她眼中的欧洲央行的过度独立性。在最后一次作为首相在议院发表的演讲中，她抨击欧洲央行是一个“不对任何人负责”的机构，她将人们的吸引力吸引到集中货币政策的政治含义上，正确地预见了“民主赤字”的危险——如今，不仅塞浦路斯和葡萄牙，很多欧洲人都在担心这一点。
