Austrians Sign Petition to Leave European Union
With the financial crisis in Greece reaching a fevered pitch, many
have wondered what might happen to the European Union if their most debt
riddled member jumps ship. Will it cause a domino effect of defaulting
nations, equally interested in leaving this unnatural union? It’s hard
to say how it all might pan out, but it’s important to note that anti-EU
rhetoric isn’t limited to Greece. Calls to leave the Union are being
heard in unexpected places.
Over 260,000 Austrians have signed a petition calling for
the EU exit for the country, and now the Austrian parliament must
discuss a referendum on the issue.
