Germany's Angela Merkel's decisiveness at key moments in the eurozone crisis 2010-2012

04/29/2010

In dealing with bankers on bondholder losses for loans to Greece, with Greece's prime minister Papandreou over a proposed referendum on debt reduction, and with French president Sarkozy on bondholder losses to reduce Greek debt, at every turn Angela Merkel showed a clear decisiveness during the eurozone crisis in 2011-2012. After a no confidence vote for premier Berlusconi in Italy's parliament Merkel persuaded president Napolitano to win consensus for the formation of a new government headed by Mario Monti, EU commissioner. After earlier fumbling with the crisis in actions by Merkel in 2010, the German chancellor learned from errors and improved her handling of the eurozone crisis in 2011-2013.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
