Eurozone crisis
Greeks relieved but mistrustful
22 July 2011 Presseurop
Four months into the military operations against Colonel Gaddafi, the British and French governments are still looking for a coherent policy towards Libya. They have only themselves to blame, writes a British columnist. 
Although Anders Breivik was solely responsible for the atrocities in Norway, his far-fetched ideas clearly owe much to a culture of populism. A Dutch historian argues that the events which took place on 22 July ought to be considered in the context of political trends in Europe.
The new rescue plan agreed by the EU on July 21 has not helped to calm the credit rating agencies. To get out of their impasse, the Greeks must change their methods and push forward a development policy, writes an editorialist.
In the wake of the Oslo bomb attack and massacre on Utøya island, attention is focused on far-right extremist groups proliferating on the web. But their members have little in common with traditional neo-nazis and extremist conservative movements. 
There is nothing in the mind of Norway’s mass killer that needs studying. Instead of rationalising his deeds, we'd do better to ignore his narcissism and puerile ideology, writes columnist and London's mayor Boris Johnson. 
Right up to the slaughter of 22 July, Norway was considered immunised against extremism. Lacking real political connections, a radical movement has nonetheless organised. And its extent remains unknown. 
At least 93 dead and 97 wounded: the dual attack perpetrated on 22 July by right-wing fundamentalist Anders Behring Breivik has shocked the people of Norway. In an editorial published in the wake of the carnage, the daily Dagbladet calls on the citizens of the country not to give in to fear or the temptation to impose a police state. 
France and Germany have successfully staved off a meltdown of the eurozone once again. But a monetary union that locks member states into a one size fits all economic policy is a disaster waiting to happen, argues a British columnist. 
In the end, the eurozone countries holding an emergency summit in Brussels did agree on a new rescue package for Greece. The underlying problem, however, is far from solved. And meanwhile, the bill is getting higher, warns Die Welt. 
The new rescue plan announced on July 21 after the extraordinary Eurozone summit eliminates the risk of Greece going bankrupt, but the Athenian press is divided about its implications. Editorial

What will happen to the Euro? What is Schengen? And who is Lady Ashton? There is more than one way of looking at Europe, but one of the most impressive is through satire. For this reason that the European Commission, in partnership with Internazionale, has launched a contest to award the best political cartoon to appear in the Italian press in 2011.
A reader says...
Patrząc na historię Europy lub jej historyczne przeznaczenie, jej teraźniejszością i przyszłością wydaje się być rozłam. Niesamowite, jak wiele osób postrzega Europę nie taką jaką ona jest naprawdę, lecz taką jaką chcieliby aby była.
