Hay grandes discrepancias.
Tenemos a un Mario Draghi que se larga, se le acaba el mandato ya mismo… Y sin
embargo, lejos de estar sin hacer mucho dejándole los trastos a su sucesor, no
para, volviendo a hacer cosas alejadas de la ortodoxia. Y los alemanes, cada
vez más cabreados, explotan. Ha dimitido un miembro del BCE alemán por
desacuerdos con la política montería acordada. Una mujer que llevaba en el
cargo desde 2014 y ha dicho basta…, a dos años del final de su mandato.
Lo que sí parece claro es que
el BCE se ha quedado sin instrumentos para enfrentarse con la nueva crisis que
venga en un par de años, si es que llega, y las palabras maravillosas,
salvadoras de Draghi ya no servirán…
One Of The Biggest ECB Hawks Unexpectedly
Resigns In Opposition To Draghi's Massive Easing
One of the biggest hawks on the ECB
executive board and governing counsel, Germany Sabine Lautenschlaeger,
unexpectedly announced her resignation from the European Central Bank Executive
Board more than two years before the official end of her term.
The German policymaker is stepping down on
Oct. 31, the ECB said in a statement late on Wednesday. While the
statement provided no reason for her decision, some - such as the WSJ - suspect that the departure of the
outspoken hawk is in protest to outgoing ECB president Mario Draghi's recent
decision to launch massive easing, including cutting rates to -0.50%, and
resuming open-ended QE, despite an "unprecedented
revolt" from Europe's core economies, including Germany, France, Austria
and the Netherlands.
Lautenschlaeger was a board member since
January 2014 and during her tenure served a full 5-year term as the vice-chair
of the Supervisory Board of the Single Supervisory Mechanism.
"President Mario Draghi thanked her
for her instrumental role in helping set up and steer Europe-wide banking
supervision, a key pillar of banking union, as well as her unwavering
commitment to Europe", Draghi said in a brief statementpublished on the ECB's website,
republished below in its entirety.

the Executive Board and Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB),

been a Member of the Executive Board and Governing Council since 27 January
2014 as well as serving a full term in office as the Vice-Chair of the
