Merkel: I Do Not Want Greece to Leave Euro

German Chancellor Angela Merkel made it clear yesterday that she does not want Greece forced out of the eurozone. In her address to students in Berlin, Merkel said she doesn’t want Greece to leave the euro and will “not take part in forcing Greece out.”

Merkel’s words come as the Greek government is considering yet another round of cuts to secure a new bailout and avoid going bankrupt next month.

Greeks have two unpleasant choices: Taking more money and more austerity orders from Europe, or going bankrupt and keeping some of their national sovereignty. Greeks want bankruptcy.

One Athens resident said, “We’re at the bottom, if we went one step lower, we could be saved with dignity.”

But unfortunately for the Greeks, it’s not up to them, as Chancellor Merkel has made clear. Expect Germany to continue to force its will on Greece to ensure Europe’s economic and political union. The Trumpet stands by its forecast that the present euro crisis will accelerate the establishment of a European political union dominated by Germany.
