EU Divisions: Is “Eurogeddon” Just a Matter of Time?
The Greek crisis is the most difficult test the EU has ever had to face; it cannot be solved by austerity alone.
Published on Jul 16, 2015

The threat of Greece leaving the EU, or a “Grexit,” has deeply shaken Europe.While officials prepared for a worse case scenario, eurosceptic leaders were cheering, like Nigel Farage from the UK Independence Party.
Is the Greek crisis only the starkest example of a multi-speed Europe headed for a downsizing or even extinction?
European leaders are also deeply divided over migration.
And will Spain be the next crisis? With elections there in autumn, euro-sceptic parties have surged in the polls amid anger over EU-mandated austerity policies.
On The Network, these issues are debated by Pavel Telicka, a Czech MEP and Vice President of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats or ALDE; Pierre Vimont of the think tank Carnegie Europe and a former diplomat; and Pablo Bustinduy, co-ordinator of the European parliament delegation of Podemos, the Spanish leftist party.
This broadcast was originally aired on Euronews’s The Network.

Europe isn’t as weak in the new geopolitics of power as many would believe. But to leverage its assets and claim a sphere of influence, Brussels must stop undercutting itself.
