Charlemagne. Europe against the people?

Commentary feature. Efforts to save the euro cannot run against the will of the voters indefinitely. Feature concludes 'Saving the euro requires more pain for some, more generosity from others and fundamental change for all. Is it worth it? Sooner or later, citizens must be asked. Without their support, no reform can last. And a real choice must include the option of leaving the euro. Now that this taboo has been breached, the euro zone should start thinking about how best to arrange the departure of those that cannot, or will not, live by Germanic rules'.
