"The hole in the credibility of the European institutions is enormous," whispers a senior official in Brussels. The Commission has more and more power, but the right of initiative is taken, when taken, looking in profile to Berlin. Germany sends as ever, but her recipes are not just given away-or-results. The start of the new president of the Eurogroup, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, has been disastrous. In the Parliament MPs abound arriving there after being out of options at home. And so on ad infinitum. With one exception: the ECB. Although Frankfurt also gets rid of the doubts.
The failure of monetary authorities was flagrant in the boom years, when a handful of dogmatic and doctrinaire central bankers were unable to hear the alarm. We got into the mud, the ECB raised rates when he should not and has been often timid, always alert for a missing inflation (which according to the IMF would be a blessing to moderate levels). Frankfurt underestimated the risks of relapse and long devoted himself to save the banks as if there were no tomorrow, not bothering to lift a finger to help States. Under the guise of moral hazard (a kind of affection for economic penance in the extreme), he specialized in risk stay safe cataclysm petrified to pressure governments to discipline markets. But always appears when Europe approaches the abyss: the open bar prevented an accident bank liquidity, the words of Mario Draghi speculators chased away last summer, and finally became Eurobanco window ultimately by the back door - with bond purchase operations to changing conditions, skillfully dodging German doubts to close, it seemed, the more tricky chapter of the crisis (for now).
True to its sacrosanct independence, Frankfurt has been recently forced to put one foot in politics. It was the ECB who got that Greece, Ireland and Portugal asked a ransom to who resisted (perhaps with reason, in view of how they work). Trichet sent letters to Italy and Spain with the necessary reforms in exchange for debt purchases in difficult times. Cyprus is the turn of Draghi: had to leave the ECB to give an ultimatum, whose delay endangers the euro. The hardest part is yet to come: the Eurobanco is the only institution with credibility (read money) to prevent contagion. Neither here escapes criticism. Where was the Eurogroup agreed Draghi when the tax on deposits that check in tatters European confidence in guarantee funds? What was more important than giving a fist on the table to avoid this error? Draghi has to make difficult balances to win over Merkel in important causes and accept their diktat on the rest, but has spoken clearly of systemic risk of Cyprus. Do you still think the same? If the answer is yes, the ECB will continue in politics. If not, come curves. And for good.
