Riexingers Critics did not get the Idea of Europe

To the remarks of government coalition members regarding the visit of party chair of DIE LINKE, Bernd Riexinger, to Greece, party secretary of DIE LINKE, Matthias Höhn, declares:

Who assumes a German politician may criticise European policy only when in Germany, has not understood Europe. A true European integration is unthinkable without a europeanization of political debates. Chancellor Merkel is in control of the crisis-policy in Europe and saves Greece and other countries with cutback programmes ever deeper into recession – thus endangering the European solidarity. To criticise this is not only expedient but the duty of every convinced European.
