Editorial

We
need a genuine understanding of the struggles of
ordinary people

After a week
of negotiations, a new agreement was reached by
Cyprus, the Eurogroup, the European Central Bank
and the IMF. I welcome this agreement, because
it addresses the core issues: the financial
sector will be reformed thoroughly and
fundamentally; small savers with deposits up to
100,000 euros will now be spared and from
depositors with accounts above 100,000 euros a
contribution is requested. The agreement is
important not only for Cyprus, but also for the
stability of the euro area.
