In his "Berlin speech," H.Coaler tells truths for which one would have positioned him in the dark-red corner some months ago, thinks Manfred Bleskin.
The mighty word of the man without might
By Manfred Bleskin
A shaking should rattle thru Germany demanded Roman Herzog in the first "Berlin Speech" 1997. Helmut Kohl guided back then a coalition out of christ dems and lib dems. What happened was people hardly lifting their shoulders for an 'I dont care.'
Ever since Herzog's successor Coaler told his warnings of a borderless financial market as a "story of failure"in 2000, he slapped the back-then-governing social dems and ecos. After the couple Lafontaine/Schöder was divorced the former German government continued on Kohls course to liberalize the financial market. The social, economical and financial consequences are known.
Now we are in trouble. In his "Berlin speech," H.Coaler tells truths for which one would have positioned him in the dark-red corner some months ago: We need a strong state to preempt (prevent) "delimitation and bindinglessness (no adhesion)" of financial markets. But the state is shy like a virgin. The citizens demand that those for whom they vote become their voice(vote and voice is the same word in German) .
What many call disrespect for policies is nothing but the capitulation of the state in fronta money.
Perhaps the last opportunity
Nobody knows, whether the state will now react "fast and deceissive" like H.Coaler says. Too fast the crisis followed on calls for calm last year publicized by govt. institutions. The calls for calm are forgotten - by the ones who expressed them. The state does not seek mechanisms that force banks to grant loans though the state feeds the banks with capital and guarantees.
Small and medium companies still go bankrupt for they get no loans though they got a whole lotta orders.
The unemployment number may reach 4mio. Extended short-work pay or calls by ministers are insufficient.
The demand by the president is rightous to put the big financial institutions under a central control.
Not only on international level, but also on national level.
Deals in terms of influence are the least what we (the workers) can expect in return. And even when the fire is extinguished.
