Jean-Claude Juncker
|Jean-Claude Juncker^General%The prime minister of Luxembourg and president of the Euro Group. Quote from 23rd May, 2011. http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,764224,00.html@[Do politicians lie? Yes, when they believe it is necessary to do so, even though it negates informed consent and creates false impressions which others may act on to their detriment. Therefore it is important to realise that politicians do lie and take that into consideration when making decisions.... In a SPIEGEL interview, Jean-Claude Juncker, the prime minister of Luxembourg and president of the Euro Group, argues that Athens isn't bankrupt and that it is still possible for Greece to emerge from the crisis. He also states that the "nervousness" of financial markets makes it difficult to adequately and correctly inform the public.] Juncker: Without a doubt. When I do not confirm a course of events even though I ought to, I know exactly why I am doing so. In light of the nervousness of the financial markets, it is difficult for us to keep the public adequately and correctly informed all the time. This is regrettable, but unfortunately it's also unavoidable. SPIEGEL: When secret meetings are held and the truth isn't always being told, people gain the impression that there must be something wrong with this Europe. Juncker: People understand perfectly well that politicians have to discuss sensitive issues behind closed doors. I had 10 seconds to decide how to react to the report in SPIEGEL ONLINE. Let us say, hypothetically, that I had said: 'Okay, we are having a meeting, but I'm not going to tell you what we intend to talk about.' That would have triggered a tsunami in the financial markets. Instead, I chose to produce a small wave of outrage over a white lie. " align=center frameborder=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 scrolling=auto>
