Peter Boehringer, July 12, 2022, Euro Devaluation

AfD Kompakt, July 12, 2022.

The euro’s weakness is no accident. It is the logical consequence of the failed economics and unchecked monetary policy of past decades. With its inflation policy, the ECB has in fact managed in a milieu of weak currencies to bring forth the weakest of all currencies and even to devalue the euro against the currency of the U.S.A., the world’s debts champion. Despite the record high inflation, the ECB avoids an appropriate change of interest rate and continually purchases state debts solely to maintain the euro’s southern countries’ ability to pay. The result of this state of affairs, contrary to treaty, is the devaluation of the euro.

In addition, the euro’s exchange rate is closely connected with the state of the German economy. Its downfall is the result of its real economic manipulation [Gängelung] by the Federal government and the EU: Over-regulation, CO2 planned economy, subventions and cohesion policy, transfer payments, sanctions policy, debates laden with ideology are the crippling poison which undermines the economic power of the entire EU and this leads to the devaluation of the euro.

This devaluation to parity at the same time contradicts the myth according to which the severe price increases are in the first instance to be traced back to the war in the Ukraine. It is much more evident that the euro loses value on a broad front – the higher import prices thereby intensify the problem of inflation.

If the ECB does not immediately begin the change in interest rate, the capital flight out of the euro zone will be accelerated, purchasing power further weaken and the entire euro zone drawn into stagflation. Yet since here a reversal in the monetary policy will foreseeably fail due to resistance of Italy, France and other countries, can ultimately only an exit of Germany from the euro zone and a return to the D-mark stop the devaluation and with it the asoziale inflation.
