German Chancellor Angela Merkel resisted all proposals to provide relief to Spain and Italy from the excessive risk premiums that both countries are now confronting. As a result, the EU’s upcoming summit could turn into a fiasco, which may well prove lethal, because it would leave the rest of the eurozone without a strong enough financial firewall to protect it from the possibility of a Greek exit.
德国总统默克尔拒绝了所有旨在纾解西班牙和意大利风险溢价过高现状的方案。结果，即将到来的欧盟峰会可能以失败告终，这很可能会引起致命后果，因为欧元区其他国家将无法建立起足够强大的防火墙免受希腊退出所带来的冲击。
