Por Aquiles Melo
“It has produced a political and institutional
crisis because the model of (non) resolution of the crises that has been
imposed entails, de facto, the transfer of real sovereignty from democratically
elected Parliaments and governments to international financial markets, with or
without the cosmetic mediation of intermediaries with more democratic
legitimacy, as is the case with EU institutions.”
Os professores Jorge Garcia-Arias, Eduardo Fernandez-Huerga e Ana
Salvador, todos ligados à rede Research on Money and Finance
publicaram em setembro desse ano um excelente artigo sobre a crise na Europa e
as consequências para os modelos de democracia adotados para sua superação. Intitulado
de European Periphery Crises, International Financial Markets, and Democracy: Moving Towards a Globalized Neofeudalism?, esse artigo relaciona os
(des)caminhos das políticas econômicas
adotadas na UE e as alternativas antidemocráticas adotadas pelos governantes.
