BERLIN (MNI) – Eurogroup chairman Jean-Claude Juncker has called on
the European Central Bank to speak with one voice in public.
ECB Governing Council member Axel Weber, who heads the German
Bundesbank, has repeatedly criticized publicly the ECB’s government bond
purchasing program.
“I wish that the ECB would speak in future with one voice and stand
by its decisions,” Juncker told German daily Die Welt in an interview
published Monday.
“As Eurogroup chairman I have made sure on the request of the ECB
that there is a sort of verbal discipline in the Eurogroup,” Juncker
explained. “I wish that this would also be the case in the ECB,” he
added.
