Choke Therapy: 'Germany must quit eurozone to end debt crisis'


The German constitutional court has just issued a ruling on the legality of Eurozone bailouts, where it upheld the country's involvement in multi-billion rescue funds. The decision was anxiously anticipated by debt-ridden states highly dependent on the bailout packages. RT's Daniel Bushell reports. Meanwhile in Italy and Spain thousands of people hit the streets to protest their governments' fresh austerity measures.Italy's 45-billion-euro package welcomed by the EU includes among other things new tax hikes and raising the retirement age for women. And in Spain, the rallies came ahead ofa crucial vote by its Senate on amending the constitution to limit national debt. Unions and rights groups say the debt cap would decimate the welfare system and hurt the most vulnerable. Writer and journalist Miguel-Anxo Murado believes it's the markets that should be made responsible for Spain's current predicament, not the people. With the financial turmoil raging around Europe, calls are growing for the worst-hit economies to abandon the euro and return to their old national currencies. But German economic analyst Michael Mross tells RT that the only solution to the crisis is if STRONG economies leave the Eurozone. RT on Twitter: twitter.com RT on Facebook: www.facebook.com
