There has been little political will to pool taxes, borrowing and spending to support states worst hit. But this is the only way out, says the economist Shahin Vallée

The European summit last week was hailed as a moment of truth. In a recent interview, France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, laid out how European leaders had a rendezvous with history and needed to come together, and show that Europe under duress was able to respond with a common voice and with common means to the Covid-19 crisis. By all measures, this rendezvous with history was missed. European leaders in effect agreed to keep calm and carry on.

No. Lack of real Central Bank.

We already know it, thanks.

If the EU weren't prepared to pool borrowing, to allow the Eurozone member countries macro-economic borrowing powers - of the order of 8% of GDP each, interest-free with no repayments then they should never have attempted a single currency.

Certainly

EUs flaw the lack of more EU. Always the case. They won’t be happy into all nation states are abolished and we all swear allegiance to the Commission.

Not really... Globalists don’t care about people, so people voted accordingly in their respective countries, hence the lack of solidarity

We need to put the word 'solidarity' on a massive bus

Beware that this is an extension china, democracy suspended, constitution outrage, +- all the news, tv, intellectuals do not say nothing against. Believe, it is a dangerous situation. And many italians like this. They collapsed a country, a shame that of nobody talk against to

Get a grip, please. There’s always waves of solidarity and lack of even within same country and different regions. Let alone a union. Look at the tensions between different states in the US.

Not true. There is a lot of solidarity. Just look behind the scenes

We are trouble with democarcy. We can't go out for a walk, 400 unitl 4000 euro penalty, or police doing bad things all around to people out of the home people, like cina. Fake news, terrorism with all tv, newspapers. It is a shame. WE ARE going in trouble. This man is a shame

at least the Germans are making people wear certain clothing items again. maybe they'll try to unite Europe. again. for the third time.

Opinion: This's not the time to find 'fatal' flaws, but this's only time to fill in the gaps... whereever it requires. For EU Unity is the most important 'vaccine' before any vaccine.

That said, even the UNITED States of America are disparate entities. Look how long they have been formed.

an the lack of accountability, democracy and their plan for the abolition of the nation state.

No. The lack of freedom.
