Sarkozy says France and Germany will 'never let the euro fail'
Politician misdirection trick. Wonder what they are up to now?France and Germany will never turn their backs on the euro, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has said in his most robust defence of the troubled single currency to date. Addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, he told speculators to be prepared for big losses if they bet against the euro. "[Germany's] Chancellor Merkel and myself will never -- do you hear me, never -- let the euro fall," he said. "The euro is Europe. And Europe spells 60 years of peace. Therefore we will never let the euro go or be destroyed... To those who bet against the euro, watch out for your money because we are fully determined to defend the euro." President Sarkozy's intervention comes with the single currency under greater strain than at any time in its short history. Davos has been abuzz with talk of a two-speed Europe, with billionaire investor George Soros warning that the "euro could possibly fall apart" under the strain. Posted by: tipper 2011-01-28 |
