The decline of Europe’s Rosy days also marks the end of the Indian summer for Turkey. That, at least, is what I see in the deepening European crisis. Europe is neatly divided into two parts: creditors and debtors. Debtor governments, like Greece and Italy, are going to have technocratic caretaker governments. Germany, among the largest creditors, is dictating the rule of these caretaker governments by limiting the influence of popular will through elections and referendums on important decisions. Europe is now more of a project of the elites than ever. Under Angela Merkel, Germany’s decision is to first focus on a way out of the euro crisis and only then to serve justice through the ballot box. There is more trouble ahead for the European Project.
