GEAB N°65 is available! Global systemic crisis / Second half of 2012 – Convergence of four explosive factors: Banks-Stock Exchanges-Pensions-Debts
LEAP 2020
16th May, 2012
Whilst waiting for Euroland to equip itself, by the end of 2012, with a medium to long term common political, economic and social project, especially following the election of the new French president François Hollande, anticipated many months ago by LEAP/E2020, players will remain prisoners of the short-term reflexes related to the sudden Greek political tremors, the uncertainties over Euroland governance and to the risks in public debts.

Our politicians play at politics. They abdicated the difficult role cast upon them by the May 6 ballot and, in going for new elections, they have left the economy and society adrift. The crisis has changed the relationship between our political parties but not their behavior. Politics involves management of today and creating strategy for tomorrow. But, for decades, politics in Greece has been in regression, between unfinished business and utopia.

7th May, 2012 Un excellent article de Dedefensa réussit le tour de force de présenter et classer les différents facteurs impliqués dans la question du BMDE (Ballistic Missile Defence in Europe) et plus généralement du Global BMD. Il résume les travaux de la grande conférence sur la question des antimissiles réunissant à l’invitation du ministère russe de la défense les délégations de très nombreux pays. Elle s’est tenue à Moscou les 3 et 4 mai et est comme à l’habitude passée inaperçue en France, les observateurs ayant apparemment d’autres préoccupations.

I’ve always envied older colleagues for having had firsthand experience of historic events that later generations could only read about. I grew up thinking that we would not get to live through similar events because, as a child of my generation, I had the conviction that some fundamental issues had been resolved for good and that tomorrow would always be a better day. It turns out I was wrong.

Talking to the slate.fr Francois Hollande replied to a question about Germany’s opposition to Eurobonds: “On this question we will have discussions with our partners and in particular with our German friends, but they cannot put into place two deadlocks at once: one on the Eurobonds and the other on the direct financing of debt by the ECB”. On his demands to stimulate growth the French president elect said that he did not aim at a Keynesian deficit spending program as he is committed to reducing the French deficit. Rather he was aiming at “putting into place instruments at the European level, which means increasing the capital of the European Investment Bank, mobilising structural funds and the financial transaction tax which would allow financing of infrastructure works. Also Europe could at last decide to borrow which is all what the Eurobonds or the project bonds are about”.
