If you want to complain about excessive moralising in economic policymaking, come to a country where the word for "debt" is the same as the world for "guilt" #visitGermany teapaw.org/morningmoneyben/status…

This notion of a "dominant culture" is abhorrent. Quite rightly, the EU's motto is "united in diversity." What we need is tolerance, respect for each other's culture, religious freedom and the #RuleofLaw. teapaw.org/ManfredWeber/status/98…
