Germany and Poland bury their past hatchets to save Eurozone

Mission to save Euro and Eurozone from the ongoing financial crisis has brought together a never-before coalition between Germany and Poland – known enemies whose past are fraught with animosity and war. As the leaders of other EU countries are struggling to reach a common consensus to tackle European debt crisis, leaders of the two countries have taken a united stand.

In a rare gesture, the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, has given its full backing to German Chancellor Angela Merkel in her attempt to ask for full change in the treaty. Full and fundamental change in the European treaty is necessary to bring in severe budget cuts and centralized monitoring.

As an ally, Poland brings on the table several brownie points for Germany. Poland enjoys close relationships with countries that belonged to former Soviet Union and countries of northern Europe. Poland is also an enthusiastic supporter of unified Europe and hopes to join Euro in the future. Besides, the commanding position that Poland enjoys among nations outside eurozone also goes well with Germany.

The final clincher was the foreign minister of Poland, Radoslaw Sikorski’s recent comment that set the government and foreign policy departments of Berlin abuzz. “I fear German power less than I am beginning to fear German inactivity.” Radoslaw Sikorski also did not forget to hail Germany as indispensable to Europe.
