Agree with Marie Sneve Martinussen (and Yanis Varoufakis):
"One of the reasons why Norway came through the financial crisis better than other countries was that we gave security guarantees to the banks. We wouldn't have been able to do that without conditions from Frankfurt (where the European Central Bank is headquartered) if Norway was part of the eurozone.
She refers to voices on the right who, during the inflation crisis of the past two years, have argued that Norway should become part of the eurozone.
- "That's madness. You can point to any country in Europe to explain how the eurozone in particular, but also the economic policies of the EU, are undemocratic. It's capitalism on speed," she says.
