Analyst warns that European leaders are not aware yet of the real concerns of the general public, voters, consumers.By ignoring the concerns of ordinary citizens who feel they are not to blame for the crisis, European leaders are in danger of unleashing another French revolution, according to independent environmental advisor Wouter van Dieren.
The two day EU summit in Brussels which ended on Friday (27 March) has done little more than promising to inject 5 billion into energy and internet projects, and possibly pledging 25 billion extra for Eastern Europe, but the 27 member states are adamant that there will be no big rescue package for the European economy.
Independent sustainability consultant, Wouter van Dieren, a member of the Club of Rome, told BNR Newsradio:
"I'm afraid that the European leaders are not aware yet of the real concerns of the general public, voters, consumers. When you see the current French uprising, it makes me think of the French revolution of 220 years ago. There is great anger among the public because they are having to foot the bill of the swindling financial markets over the past few years."
