In opposition to almost every eurozone foreign minister or president, the chairman of Ecofin, and the European Central Bank’s president, Germany insisted that the International Monetary Fund be brought to the rescue of Greece, a brute denial of the principle of solidarity behind the euro. And, thanks to Germany, the interest rates that Greece will pay for loan packages put together by other eurozone countries will be very high, which means that its economy will be unable to recover for some time, and that its financial drama will weigh heavily on the euro’s collective destiny.
