Lagarde Chef der Europäischen Zentralbank fordert eine Alternative zu amerikanischem Visum und Mastercard in „A March to Independence“. Der Abschluss der Kapitalmarktunion würde den Weg für die Fiscal Union ebnen. Weitere europäische Integration würde jedes Jahr einen Wert von 3 Billionen € (!) Fügen

SS: European Central Bank President Lagarde sees massive US tariffs as a catalyst for Europe to become more self-reliant and autonomous. She talks about the importance for Europeans to „take their destiny into their own hands“ and finally become who they are in „a march to independence“. Europe could take a huge leap toward independence by completing the Capital Market Union and setting the stage for the Fiscal Union. Momentum is growing in tandem with the Draghi and Letta reports to speed up the ever-closer Union. A recent study also estimates the added value of further European integration to be €3 trillion every year. That is almost four times the entire US defense budget.

This is gonna get ugly as US services are shunned

As well they should. Now is the time to do the things that you need to do but previously could not due to US lobbying/pressure.

Isn’t the *almost here* digital euro, a program literally created by the ECB that she presides over, supposedly for this?
