Problem Germany within the European Union

It is evident that in Europe there is a problem Germany. The management of the Greek crisis took place in disregard of the institutional competences of the European Union, as well as the lack of consideration for the political will expressed by the people greek. Behind this behavior is the address of conduct dictated by the main protagonist country in Europe: Germany. The problem of the perception of the attitude too hegemonic Berlin, is likely to be, beyond any consideration of political tendency, the figure of the European Union as dominated politics and the wishes of the Germans. If this perception were to become a broader sense, and lived in a very contrasting, of what is happening in Greece, would be a major risk factor for the stability of the institution in Brussels. With serious repercussions on the foreign policy of the entire Western world. The excessive humiliation imposed on Greece, especially in the manner required by the German finance minister, was an exaggeration completely useless, functional only to mark so overly brash the German power to the will of Berlin to limit the sovereignty of a foreign country but formally ally. In Germany itself this attitude has produced criticism and questions about the real opportunity to keep a profile of the kind, not only in the most extreme environments of the left, but in the same Social Democrats, Merkel's allies in the grand coalition government, which committed Germany. Without citing the violation of the founding ideals of the European Union, which was to be based on the solidarity of the peoples, what appears is an imbalance between the help function, which lacks the legislation, in Berlin, with the lack of exercise that role from Brussels. Germany, with a strong economic capacity superior experience, not only for the capacity of its production system, but also through the use unscrupulous European institution at your own advantage and to the detriment of potential competitors, has created a network of power , which allows him to exercise hegemony on the continent, falling back into old ambitions, never completely dormant. The greek example is illuminating: no country in the euro, supported the demands of Athens, also presenting alternative solutions, but is flattened on the line dictated by Germany. Berlin has been so easy to follow his line, emphasizing also the intent punitive and quote for any future cases. Who does not agree with this direction in Europe, hoping to hear alternative voices, such as France and Italy, which, after the first few periods of false euphoria after the victory of the Greek Left, they are aligned to the wishes of Merkel . Even in foreign policy, the leadership of the Berlin crisis in Ukraine, which granted France the role of accompanist, stressed that Germany takes into account the EU institutions responsible for the management of a crisis of this magnitude. These facts highlight how Germany is a problem for the European Union, which appears more and more submissive to the will of Berlin. Brussels, at this time, is a supranational union formed by a country with greater power over others, in this state of things contribute also other factors beyond Germany, but thanks to which Berlin has been able to exploit the situation. The first is the European skepticism, which weakens the internal capacity of governments to create the conditions for the approval of the European Union, the second is the lack of statesmen level and hence unable to find solutions, even in the form of aggregates, to oppose German hegemony. If these factors now facilitate the action of Berlin, in the medium and long term might not be so: if Germany does not revise its attitude in view of a common and uniform growth, the European Union, already badly tolerated for his economic policies absurdly rigid, will eventually crumble thanks to a further opportunity to develop the contribution to political parties opposed to the European union; in fact a political address managed almost solely from Berlin, will not be tolerated and will be a disruptive element hardly curable within the continental public opinion.
