“German
politician and member of the Left Party, Sahra Wagenknecht, has
doubts concerning the sustainability of the euro currency and further
European integration. The Greek crisis showed that the euro is not
working, she said. Wagenknecht opposed further delegation of national
sovereignty to the EU and criticized the euro currency as well as the
European Union itself.”
“According
to the politician, the monetary union has narrowed the space for
national governments and lead to their inability to act. Wagenknecht
called it a 'Europe-wide abolition of democracy through the back
door.' The politician suggested initiating a debate of whether
European countries should reconsider their financial and monetary
system.”
“Wagenknecht
criticized the EU policy and called for a return to broader national
sovereignty. An increasing number of integration steps undermines
the sovereignty of national states and leaves no room for democratic
decisions, especially if the whole policy of the EU member states is
controlled by 'EU technocrats,' she argued.”
