Now I want to thank my readers for Easter, but also with a fair amount of irony and critique to report back with you. Much has happened in the past three months: many unsightly, almost as many strange and (sometimes) funny. But a few words to me in advance. Sure, three months is a long time for a blog if it is not written. But health is always just before. Even me. Therefore, the first information: Sports and hiking goes on. After an appropriate stage in the preparation of course. My activities as Ambassador of the German Foundation for Organ Donation also goes further - a series of actions I will inform you of course soon. And my last problems (suspected rejection, infection and weakness of my kidneys) have made two short hospital stays required. But again it is all right and stable. And I'm back home. The events in our world, however, are anything but nice and stable. The Bundeswehr in Afghanistan, the soldiers shot away, 82% of the population opposed this war from now, Finance Minister Schäuble collected with a coalition agreement trick the tax reduction commitments made by the FDP and makes to monkeys Westerwelle and Brüderle. The Chancellor is not lazy and tried jointly with Sarkozy in the world-finance-related to a fool Greece Potemkin village. It might not work, because the guys on the international stage are Cleverle and have noticed it. The result: Greece must now pay interest rates as a third-rate banana republic. The (presumably short) sequence: the first euro zone country goes bankrupt, is made virtually under management of the IMF or the World Bank. This has indeed taken in itself incredibly far-reaching consequences - even for the euro area, their value continues to decline, but also for the other candidates loose in Europe: Portugal forward as "crown prince" then followed by Spain, which violently sick to their real estate bubble and Italy, which are driven by a horny Berlusconi makes more and more to the wall. German television brings with it now on different channels (ARD, ZDF, RTL, N-TV, N24 and others) increased "background information" about the situations and developments in these countries. Recent yes there was a report on Portugal and the impact of this crisis. That is such a thing as "an indirect correlation" of the population. Attunement to the most inevitable crash. Time assumed it would in the next two to three years before the Greeks, then the Portuguese, then the Spaniards and the Italians take last, as would actually the episodes? First, the euro would depreciate in value significantly and thus would also be a sustained loss of substance of the EU the result. Then it would be a tragic that the policy on the Havel and Spree, have on the Seine and the Thames not managed to put the banks on the chain. These banks that are currently set up with about 1 billion € (in Germany), a mini-review of security in times of crisis would become much more, have to shoulder much more than any other ever before. In the worst case, could the volume that has spent the policy to the rescue of Hypo Real Estate, still be a tip in comparison. So back to Greece drachma, the Portuguese escudo to the English peseta and the lira to the Italians? Devaluation of the respective campaigns (new) currencies in those countries by at least 20%? Partial nationalization of key industries to secure national stability? What would such a scenario for Europe and for us what the consequences would be. How would change Europe? questions to which there are currently only partially answers. However, these are questions that - to come to us - although perhaps in modified form. In this blog I will in the near future some contributions try some of the possible consequences and responses represent. Therefore, for today - all of you in the villages a great Saturday night and all my readers a quiet and peaceful Easter wishes with a friendly Buen Camino your Lothar
