Brussels, Europe |

But beginning to detect a shift in Brussels shy gentle, shy, warm, but in the end turn-out, a new narrative that paves the way to soften the extreme austerity of the past two years. Twenty-seven leaders met Thursday night in Brussels to recognize that continued cuts still do not give the expected results. The euro zone has more than one year in recession, partly because snips applied everywhere yet, and will close 2013 with further falls in GDP. Given this bleak picture is added to political crises in several countries, Brussels announced “more short-term actions”, new stimuli and the application of the string of measures already approved for growth that have not yet been launched.

In a transitional European Council, the leaders took note and promised a turn to the increased risk of “social unrest” against austerity, summarized the Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker. Even German Chancellor Angela Merkel, left the script is repeated many times and said that growth and the fight against unemployment “should now be the priority” in the EU.
The Spanish prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, has joined the new tune and unequivocally expressed concern about the consequences of continuing with uncompromising austerity. “There is a risk of double alienation: we run the risk that Europe move away from growth and that citizens turn away from Europe.”
