The
Italian technocrat Mario Monti was part of the Jaques Santer
commission forced to resign en mass in 1999 over corruption and
nepotism charges.
Mr
Monti's latest outburst is seemingly against democracy. He calls for
leaders to dilute accountability to their parliaments over the Euro
crisis. The Euro is everything to the Brussels Federalists. No loose
talk of failure please.
"If
governments” he said in a recent Der Spiegel interview, “allow
themselves to be entirely bound to the decisions of their parliament,
without protecting their own freedom to act, a break up of Europe
would be a more probable outcome than deeper integration."
This
has forced the German Bundestag to stand up against what is generally
regarded as a technocrat/banker plot to rail road Europe into a
system described by philosopher Jürgen Habermas
as “Post-Democratic Executive Federalism.”

If
this were to happen then at best a return to freedom
fighter/revolutionary activity is assured. Such activists are easy to
find but it looks like responsible managers for Executive Federalism isn't so easy.
The
scathing report on the E.U. Santer commission released March 15th
1999 paints the picture why citizens are reluctant or unwilling to
follow such a Tribe of Dreams into the Federalist unknown.
“There
was growing reluctance of the Commissioners to acknowledge any guilt
and that It was becoming increasingly difficult to find anyone who
had the slightest sense of responsibility."
Could
this be a reason the European Project is destined to fail if it stays
on its present course. In the words of one irate Berlin politician
“We must make it clear to Mr Monti that we Germans (read Europeans)
will not shut down our democracy to pay Italian debts.”(read save the Euro)
Summer
madness is in full swing.
