French Socialists criticize Germany, looking with interest at Italy

The combination of harsh criticism from German intransigence of the French Socialist Party and the establishment of the new Italian government, it does not seem random at all. Both in France and in Germany the statement of the ruling party in Paris provoked sharp reactions from conservatives, raising tensions between the two leading eurozone economies. It should be noted that the attitude of Merkel can not change, can be worth a substantial loss of votes, until the next elections in Germany, where Chancellor in charge is favored to date, thanks to his firm on the public accounts to all economies the euro, but especially those in southern Europe. With Hollande's victory relations between the two countries have deteriorated substantially due to the disappearance of the tune that Merkel had established with Sarkozy, based on the sharing of measures of an economic nature imposed on the entire eurozone. Meanwhile Italy led by the caretaker government of Monti, he would so slavishly conforms to the dictates Germans, while undermining the entire middle class of the country. With the Italian elections, Hollande was hoping for a successful Bersani, to strengthen the position of Paris against Berlin, while Merkel hoped a victory of Monti, to have a secure foothold in its policy of suffocating goal, both did not want a Berlusconi's victory. Until the third largest economy in the euro found a government, the first skirmishes between economic forces of the single currency continued, without, however, vary the positions within the EU, firmly controlled by the landlady German. With the new Italian government things change: despite being an executive of broad alliances, but this time not technical but political, the economic program that Rome will have to develop will have to be necessarily expansive, in order to satisfy the trends of the two sides more and, above all, silence the dangerous discontent due to a tax burden unworthy, who got the only result of contracting consumption and thus government revenue. All this happened in a situation of serious social crisis due to the large number of job losses and increased unemployment, especially among young people and women. In this context still apply a policy of rigor inelastic, would only lead to the explosion of social tensions and the failure of the government, last call for the forces supporting it, outputs already a major setback at the polls. In Italy, many commentators are of the opinion that we must resist to the German elections, then anything is going to happen, the government of Germany, will lower its tendency penalty taker, because no longer burdened by the weight of the judgment election. If this account is true is yet to be ascertained, in any case, the initiative of the French Socialist Party seems to aim to undermine the rigor before the German elections brought forward from Germany with a pincer action, which, on the one hand, put pressure in Berlin in the international arena, while on the other to give force to the interior of the antagonists Merkel, the Social Democratic Party, which has expressed his confidence in the reformist spirit of Hollande. Within the conservative French socialist document has not been appreciated and has remarked on how Hollande is isolated in Europe. In fact, if born a strong alliance with Rome, based mainly on economic issues, the French president it will be an opportunity to revive his image now a little blurred. Pressure on Merkel coordinated in a fair and balanced and exercised together by the second and third largest economies in the euro, could falter even the granite-Chancellor and this could open the door to the return of the Social Democratic Party government. As you can see the domestic political issues with those of Community policy are closely intertwined, not only at the government level, but the strategies of individual political forces. Like it or not the process of unification seems to find ways completely independent.
