[Jörg Meuthen is a national chairman of the
Alternative für Deutschland and he leads the AfD’s delegation in the European
Parliament.]
The
EU is shamelessly using the Corona crisis to procure for itself additional
competences; thereby is the introduction of Corona bonds, which are nothing
other than Euro bonds. Their introduction earlier failed, as may be read, due
to the opposition of the Dutch and the Austrians. Tomorrow will be further
negotiations. We demand that Finance Minister Scholz draw a clear line against
any form of debt mutualization, since it is counter to law and constitution and
economically harmful. Germany ought not allow itself to be lead around the circus
ring by other states to the detriment of its taxpayers and savers.
