A leader she is not - if she wants to keep the Euro she should communicate its importance to the German voter and persuade them that it's in their interest to keep subbing the weaker nations.
If she doesn't believe that, its time to form a breakaway pact of the stronger nations and let the weaker ones exit and find their own level.
Instead she's drifting along complacently hoping for the best.
Greece is bust, the Spanish baks are bust - that isn't going to magically change.
History will judge her harshly when this all go belly up.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

There is really no way out for her. Upset your own people by subsidising other nations forever, or upset other nations forever by leaving them to it.
Fiscal and political union will go down like a lead balloon among the eurozone populace, the alternative of breaking up the euro will cause turmoil.
Whatever she does her future looks pretty hopeless.Comment
