Public discussion: Attack on Democracy: An Intervention (in German)

Those near Berlin, Germany, may be interested in a public discussion, scheduled to take place at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) on 18 December 2011, on the topic, "Angriff auf die Demokratie: Eine Intervention" ("Attack on Democracy: An Intervention").

Quote: "What does the euro crisis actually consist of? From a political point of view, it is less a matter of debt and more a question of the risks posed to democracy by the supposed rescue of the currency: the German chancellor now speaks of 'market-conform democracy'. ... Democracy is a form of order based on the consideration of alternatives and it is under constant threat - especially when apparent necessities suggest that there is 'no time' to go through energy and time-consuming parliamentary procedures."
