Nicolas le Grec ?

Lors d’une formation récente, j’expliquais que les techniques de conduite du changement de Nicolas Sarkozy laissaient à désirer, mais qu’il était un animateur du changement exceptionnel. J’avais peut-être vu juste en pensant qu’il allait jouer un rôle décisif dans la réunion du week-end dernier.

Un article du Guardian dit, effectivement, que le plan qui en sort est français :

The Germans are sticklers for rigour, peer pressure and discipline, against coming to the aid of the stragglers, devoted to absolute independence for the central bank whose brief is confined to ensuring the stability of the currency and guarding against inflation.
The French push a more political, expansive approach, arguing the euro rules be geared to economic growth and jobs, tighter co-ordination of national policies, and greater harmonisation of, for example, tax and spending policies.
The Germans won in the 1990s when the euro rule book was being written. But yesterday's game changer was a French script.
In the fighting of the past several months, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany has won most of the battles, but has lost this particular war. Berlin dictated the terms for the €110bn euro Greek bailout agreed last week, but had to bow to the bailout itself, which it did not want. Ditto at the weekend.

Angela Merkel, dont la faiblesse est la lenteur de décision, a-t-elle été prise de vitesse ? En tout cas, il se pourrait que la relation franco-allemande soit abîmée.
