Latvia Supports the Euro; Hopes for 2014 Membership in EU
Valdis Dombrovskis, Latvia's Prime Minister speaks with The Economist "Charlemagne" columnist Anton LaGuardia to discuss Latvia's recent successful austerity program, and to justify why Latvia (still) strives for EU membership. Is the solution to the EU's economic crisis really just months away?
Mr. LaGuardia seems practically incredulous that Latvia would consider joining the European Union. Why might that be? (CLUE: In what country is the Economist published, and how does that country stand on this issue?)
Super, Felix, dass du dich dafür interessierst! Am wichtigsten kann man zuhören. Ich weiß auch nicht warum das Bild so geschnitten ist. Bei der Zeitschrift, The Economist, könnte man unter ,,Charlemagne" diesen Film wahrscheinlich noch finden. Lass mich wissen, wenn du damit Glück hast!
I'm pretty surprised that there are still countries trying to get IN to the EU, when there's already talk of the founding countries trying to get out to avoid going down with Greece and Spain.
Mr. LaGuardia seemed incredulous, at least initially, too Christoff. But after the piece, which of Dombrovski's arguments do you [still] find most surprising?
Well the Economist is published in London so I think that they wouldn't really want them to join the EU because they think it might damage the economy even more.
