The countries of the European Union (EU) must develop a
"coordinated and far-reaching recovery plan," urged the president of
the Eurogroup, the Portuguese Mario Centeno, before a meeting of the European
Finance Ministers on the new coronavirus. .
“We all know that this is not the time to continue with the
usual policies. We must show our citizens that Europe protects them. We must
stand firm for them, "said Centeno, when countries are divided over their
common economic response.
The question of a plan to face the current coronavirus
crisis and revive the economy in the face of an expected recession divides the
bloc, with some countries, such as the Netherlands and Germany, considering
that it is early to tackle the recovery when the pandemic is in full swing in
Europe.
Other countries, such as France, Italy and Spain, instead
ask for an immediate commitment from Europeans in this regard, which, in his
opinion, would imply greater solidarity between nations, especially through
common debt.
