Might of Eurozilla

[dredmond at efn.org]

Portugal has already thumbed its nose at the 3% Maastricht limit; France, Italy 
and now Germany are all telling the ECB to shove off. And now this:

"Prodi launched an astonishing onslaught against the pact, which his own 
commission has steadfastly defended against criticism that it strangles growth.

'I know very well that the stability pact is stupid, just like all decisions 
that are rigid,' the former Italian prime minister told the French newspaper Le 
Monde, while arguing it remained the basic framework for the euro."

repost full text).
