The situation in the European Union begins to show signs of real crisis. On the one hand, Greece will be governed to an austerity plan that affects almost all areas of its population, without letting them greater choice.
This may not be an obvious symptom, because as you recall, some years ago the EU peripheral countries suffered slight losses, Greece, Iceland and Ireland mainly-the big problem here is that countries that govern the economic potential in the EU begin to show symptoms of severe disease.
The clearest evidence of this was what happened with Italy, a country that not long ago was considered the seventh-level economic world since early November 2011, his prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, announced his resignation as Prime Minister, this as part of a rescue plan not only for the Italian economy, but also for the EU.
The crisis generated in Italy has many aspects, which are repeated in almost similar throughout the EU.
One of the main points is the rate of older adults in this country, taking with it a lot of retirees, themselves dependent on state resources. The number of retirees exceeds Italy the number of working people, therefore, people who contribute capital. Italy spends 14% of its GDP on pensions, which has created an unbalanced spending and apparently had not anticipated.
What begins to happen in Europe is just a sample of the giants, economically speaking, not exist as such.
