19.05.2020 | EU risks losing Germany if it picks a constitutional fight to the death, or the euro if it doesn't
by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard - The Telegraph

Step by step, the EU institutional machine is making the same mistake with the German people that it made with the British people. It is taking a law-abiding and well-meaning nation for granted.

The EU assumed it could get away with this because the German policy class has been broadly complicit - up to a point - but Europe has now run into the unyielding resistance of the German constitutional court, the defender of the post-War Rechtsstaat, and the body that likes to think of itself as the "people’s court".
