If we have a common currency, the main regulator for policy in the country is the fiscal policy.

If another euro country fails, so does Slovakia. Our economy is 80% open and if the citizens of Spain and Portugal have no money to buy cars made here in Slovakia then that will be bad for us. Everything is connected.

It is the entire euro zone system which is under threat at the moment, not just a few small countries anymore... Our euro is under threat. The changing situation needs a quick and immediate reaction.

It would be nice if there were a policy response in the form of a tighter fiscal policy.

The Legislature has been very responsible in terms of good fiscal policy.

The lack of fiscal responsibility is one of the main reasons I finally left my old Party.
