We, and countries like us, simply cannot take on further debt. It would have catastrophic consequences not just for individual countries but for the Eurozone as a hole.\u00a0\u00a0We have very fresh memories of the last crash \u2013 it was not a union of equals, Germany and France mostly called the shots and there are signs of the same kind of thinking regarding the current crisis. I believe we should be very concerned about that kind of thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">\u201cWe must all agree that a huge stimulus programme throughout the EU is required but one which does not involve member states taking on additional debt. Relying on the European Stability Mechanism as the only possible solution in a post-Covid era is a recipe for further austerity which is likely to be detrimental, if not fatal, to the European project.\u00a0\u00a0What happened in the wake of the last crisis led to a decade of austerity and subsequent underspending on vital public service infrastructure. Europe won\u2019t get a second chance and this is make or break time for the project.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">6th May 2020<br \/>\n[ENDS]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Social Democrats co-leader Catherine Murphy has told the D\u00e1il that the response to the Covid crisis at EU level cannot be similar to the response to economic crash in 2008 which led to extreme austerity for some member states, including Ireland.\u00a0\u00a0She said that all member states would have to appreciate the scale of the problem [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[182,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-catherine-murphy","category-press-release"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
