DN kallar tyska författningsdomstolen paragrafryttare när de värnar grundlagen

Varning för tyska paragrafryttare i EU, är rubriken på DN-ledaren.

DN kan dock inte helt förneka verkligheten och skriver att "Europas makthavare, som skyr besvärliga folkomröstningar och därför slutat ändra i EU-fördragen, har fått en varning."

Don’t blame German judges if they say No to ECB asset purchases

There may be solid technical reasons to disagree with such a ruling, but the underlying problem is the law itself.  Everybody involved in eurozone policy knows that the monetary union owes its survival to successful rule-bending. 

It was a masterpiece of legal engineering in the last crisis to set fire to a no-bailout clause in European treaties, and then create a bailout umbrella on its ashes.

Wolfgang Münchau FT 3 May 2020

"I am sure the euro will oblige us to introduce a new set of economic policy instruments.

It is politically impossible to propose that now. But some day there will be a crisis and new instruments will be created."

Romano Prodi, EU Commission President. Financial Times, 4 December 2001

If you want to save the euro permanently, the judges are saying, write new rules into the European treaties and explain them to your voters.
