EU's (von der Leyen's) decision about Kaliningrad and Scholtz's own statements regarding it prove only one thing to me:
Germans would rather see pictures of thousands of bombed Ukrainian toddlers and have millions of Ukrainian kids kidnapped and raped, and every maternity ward in every hospital destroyed than live without ruzzian gas.
German finance minister Olaf Scholz (SPD) plans to block the release of 970 million euros for Greece at the Eurogroup meeting in Brussels on Monday.
According to an internal memo of the German Finance Ministry obtained by daily Handelsblatt, the Eurogroup should postpone its decision [for the money release] at the next meeting on April 5.
“There is no time pressure,” the memo notes implying that Athens does not need the money urgently as the government has liquidity reserves of almost 27 billion euros. Berlin wants to postpone the money release until Greece complies with five remaining structural reforms, including privatization, red loans and others.
...What is interesting is that Handelsblatt and apparently the German Finance Ministry describe the money lenders ought to return to Greece as “debt relief measures.”
It is also interesting to note that Germany keeps on behaving as “the absolute ruler of the Eurozone,” even thought this is one of the facts that has triggered euro-skepticism across Europe.
