A consensus has taken hold among Germans that her Italian and Spanish colleagues, abetted by France's president, outmaneuvered her at the European Union summit on June 28th and 29th. There she went again, said the critics, drawing red lines only to cross them under pressure and have to redraw them farther back. The impression was reinforced by a visibly exhausted Ms Merkel in the small hours of June 29th, after the marathon talks in Brussels but before key votes later the same day in the Bundestag. Mrs Merkel needed the votes to approve two crisis-related measures: the European fiscal compact and the euro-zone rescue fund, the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). She got enough backing from the opposition Social Democrats (SPD) and Greens to win the two-thirds majorities she needed. But she failed to secure even a simple majority among her own coalition. Sixteen members of Mrs Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian sister, the Christian Social Union (CSU), voted against the ESM. Ten members of her liberal ally, the Free Democrats (FDP), also voted no. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
