UK’s DailyMail: “Germans in Charge” Financially; Why Germany Keeps Making the News

Berlin Reichstag

Over the past few days Germany has continued to make the news. Spain also has made the news regarding their poor economic situation and their near 25% unemployment.

The coverage of Germany has varied from positive to negative stories. The positive items are essentially reporting how well German’s economy is performing. The stories and editorials that seem negative are accusing Germany of not helping enough. In summary, these articles are reporting that Germany should take more involvement. Inevitably, more involvement will lead to more German control.

Leaders plotting EU superstate: ‘Fiscal union’ looms… with the Germans in charge
19:36 EST, 5 June 2012

There is growing frustration in London and Washington at Germany’s reluctance to take steps towards a single economic government and put its vast resources behind the struggling countries in the eurozone.

Their fears were aired yesterday in a conference call between finance ministers from the G7 group of leading nations.

Four EU leaders have been asked to draft proposals for a deeper eurozone fiscal union, to be presented to an EU summit at the end of this month….

They fear a core eurozone, led by Germany, would be in a powerful position to push whatever policies it wanted affecting the rest of the 27-member EU.

DailyMail sees Germany as the practical solution to the financial difficulties in the eurozone, but there is also a strong fear of Germany and the control it would gain.

Today, TomorrowsWorld made a post on Twitter about Germany as well:

Germany grapples with its role in Euro rescue. WSJ: ow.ly/bq6RA Growth of a “strongman”? [TW:] ow.ly/bq6Xe

The start of the Wall Street Journal article states:

As Europe careens deeper into political and economic crisis, the immediate survival of the euro turns more than ever on a single question: Will Germany act?

For nearly three years, Chancellor Angela Merkel has resisted pressure from European neighbors to provide a stronger financial backstop for the euro zone. Germany, the only euro-zone nation with the economic heft to do so, has done the minimum necessary to keep vulnerable countries afloat—and demanded crushing public-spending cuts in return.

WSJ is emphasizing how Germany really is the solution also. From a 2010 article, Growth of a Strongman: Germany Rising Again, Dexter B. Wakefield wrote the following:

Tomorrow’s World has long explained that the German people are identified in prophecy as Assyria. Even though these remarkable people were crushed by Allied might in World War II, they are rising again to power and prominence in Europe. Look for Germany to lead the way in trade dominance, finance, economic power, political muscle and revived military force in a federal EU.

Through the prophet Isaiah, God said, “Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger and the staff in whose hand is My indignation. I will send him against an ungodly nation, and against the people of My wrath. I will give him charge, to seize the spoil, to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. Yet he does not mean so, nor does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and cut off not a few nations. For he says, ‘Are not my princes altogether kings?'” (Isaiah 10:5–8).

Constantly, we are seeing the demand for Germany’s help. According to these articles, it seems that Germany is being very hesitant to help. If Germany was to rush in and take complete control financially, it would simply seem that Germany is “greedy” and wants to “take over” the eurozone. The appearance of Germany, not wanting to take control, is prudent on Germany’s part.
