Seriously though, the 25 members of the Governing Council should try to build a consensus. And when a decision is made, it must be embraced. That isn’t happening right now.

Criticism of Draghi is intensifying in the north of Europe. Are you fearful of disengagement from the European project in countries such as Germany? We have to redouble our communication efforts. The ECB has delivered low inflation and a favourable environment in which Germany has enjoyed ten years of strong growth. Germany has been much better off with the euro.
