Habermas and Fischer share Berlin platform

Yesterday in Berlin former German foreign minister Joschka Fischer said at a lecture that he believed the people who want Europe should come out and say where they want to be.

"Serious leadership failure in Berlin had stalled the EU integration motor which was now in danger of running out of steam," Fischer said.

Juergen Habermas spoke of the 'creeping death' of the EU unless Germany seizes the eurozone crisis as a chance for final European integration.

"We are currently going about sinking 50 years of European history," Habermas said.

Scary words.
