Ok, I don’t want to sound alarmist, as this could easily be the author taking liberties with what was actually said. But, this is the first time I’ve heard anyone actually reference EU leaders talking about LIKELY losses on other euro zone sovereign bonds, not just Greece.
As a German, it really amazes me how much people underestimate the stubbornness of the Germans when they are told they have to do something. Add to that the fact that there is no love for eastern or southern Europe in Germany to begin with.
