"How can I know what I think until I read what I write?" – Henry James


There are a few lone voices willing to utter heresy. I am an avid follower of Ilusion Monetaria, a blog by ex-Bank of Spain economist (and monetarist) Miguel Navascues here.
Dr Navascues calls a spade a spade. He exhorts Spain to break free of EMU oppression immediately. (Ambrose Evans-Pritchard)

No parece inmediata la implementación de la chapuza

Aparte de la chapuza jurídica (ver post anterior), y aparte del No de Reino Unido (ante-anterior), existen dudas y vacilaciones en otros países, tanto fuera como dentro del euro. Se habla de Tratado como de chequeen blanco que no se puede firmar sin precisar antes algo del contenido. Lo que más se teme es dar poder a la Comisión para inmiscuirse en los impuestos, algo que por otra parte Francia lo está deseando. La oposición en Irlanda pide un referendum -que probablemente se perdería.
Todo eso para u reforzamiento de la disciplina fiscal interna que nadie cree que sirva para algo.
FT, EU treaty hopes come under strain 
 Officials in several of those countries said their most pressing concern was whether the new rules giving Brussels powers to police national budgets would be binding only to eurozone governments or to all signatories.“Right now, there is not much more than a blank sheet of paper and even the name of the future treaty might still change,” said Petr Necas, the prime minister of the Czech Republic. “I think that it would be politically short-sighted to come out with strong statements that we should sign that piece of paper.”Even inside the 17-member eurozone, cracks emerged, with Irish opposition leaders calling on Enda Kenny, prime minister, to allow a referendum on the new pact – a vote that would almost certainly fail – and pro-EU opposition parties in the Netherlands attacking the minority government of Mark Rutte, prime minister, for his handling of the deal.
Hungary, which wavered last week before supporting the treaty, does not want to relinquish control over its corporate tax policy. Meanwhile, Sweden, harbours concerns about the possible inclusion of a financial transactions tax in any agreement. Fredrik Reinfeldt, the Swedish prime minister, holds a minority in the parliament, limiting his room to manoeuvre.
Denmark’s prime minister backs the treaty, but is facing opposition from within her own coalition; the Socialist Peoples party, a junior member, has deep eurosceptic roots.
