The United States ‘ intention to push the countries of the European Union transatlantic cooperation finds positive responses, perhaps no one, except the Chancellor of Germany.
Hundreds of thousands of people in seven cities of Germany on Saturday raged against the transatlantic Treaty. The protesters are convinced that the obsessive agreement will force Europe to make serious concessions to the United States, is not legal or profitable.
But with the belief that the West intends to keep Europe on a short leash Angela Merkel do not agree. Speaking at the Day of German industry in Berlin, she chided businessmen for their beliefs, remembering for some reason and about Russia:
“If we were talking about a similar agreement with Russia, we’d never hear half the criticism that we hear now. We should think about this,” she said.
Clouds over the transatlantic agreement deepened yesterday, the theme savored for a decent amount of time, but without any changes. The representative of the United States trade Michael Froman, not so long ago, rushed to public inferences about the “continued progress” in the negotiations.
To cool the ardor of Americans came from German foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who said that the real situation does not correspond to the statements Froman, who a lot of yourself in most of these statements allows. His decisive “no” was expressed by the President of France, mentioning more about the “stalemate” rather than “progress”.
But I’m in this situation is not going to exclude that TTIP, nevertheless, will be recognized as a German user the offer they can’t refuse. The power of the American lobby in the rhetoric of the Chancellor, and dexterity of the puppeteer in tandem are a force which is forced to admit. However, it is not for nothing that Merkel remembered the Russian Federation. Therefore, it is in our region are looking people interested in a favorable interaction, but the massive nature of the disturbances supports this argument.
