The EU maybe Dividing and led by Sarko


The European Union is made up of 27 countries. 15 of those countries are in whats called the Eurozone and the other 12 are not. the Eu zone is on the Euro dollar and has common government policies that allow the governments to function together. The other 12 countries are not but as apart of the general union.

I received a comment on my last blog about an article that I sited that had a different view on that Klaus the czech republic president was giving up his presidency of the EU. This article said, that he wasn't, but was two days before my article that I sited said he was for this change. So I am not sure what is going on! But I know now that France is in the Eurozone and the Czech republic is not. (now I am not sure today if Klaus is for or against Sarkozy) but what I do know is their is a divide that is going down in the EU.

The EU zone according to the EU weekly in EUbusiness that they have "decided to create an economic government to take the social market economy or the state controlled economy". Sarko wants to create an economic government wher ethe 15 eurozone countries would meet together regularly and create policies that give them power to control countries. But the 12 that are apart of the EU but not in the zone are afraid that they will be "frozen out" of the coordinated action.

So Sarko clearly wants to lead the Eurozone into a social market economy where it is owned and controlled by the government and the 12 outside just want a state controlled economy, keeping a free market society. Now the Czech Republic and Germany are on the outside 12 and so their is a divide that is going on. But we will see what happens when the European Union has a meeting together on November 7th and when they meet as world leaders in Washinton DC on November 15th.

What I am not sure is where Klaus stands right now? Klaus maybe in the deal now, so he is for Sarko taking over the presidency? Or it also could be a bad site quotation from an article that was published on the 26th? I am not sure at this point, all that I do know is that Sarko wants to create a one world governement and he plans to do this through diplomacy.

There are two different views of how economies should work and right now is a good arguement of how a social government could work better in bad economic times because everyone wants intervention or else everyone suffers. But I also believe that we have shown in history that when times are good that a free market society works better.

It wil be interesting to see how things play out, but what is important is not world affairs, but the current events that we have with our relationship with Jesus Christ. Have a blessed day!
