LaRouche press conference in Strasbourg, France

December 17, 2008 (LPAC)--Lyndon LaRouche held a half-hour press conference at the European Parliament headquarters in Strasbourg, France, this morning. LaRouche was accompanied by his wife Helga, who sat on the podium together with LaRouche, EIR's Claudio Celani and EPMs Cristiana Muscardini, Mario Borghezio, Donato Speroni and Erminio Boso. The audience included some 25-30 international journalists and EPMs. The EPMs attending included the head of the Forza Italia group and the conservative "United Europe of Nations" group in Strasbourg, as well as members of the Lega Nord and the Socialist Party of the Netherland. LaRouche was invited by members of the Lega Nord who are against globalization.

LaRouche was introduced as the economist who has not only forecast the current crisis, but who has exactly described its nature. LaRouche (see transcript) spoke for about 15 minutes, emphasizing the importance of banking reorganization to deal with the crisis, the worst since the 14th century. He said that the zero interest rate policy is "folly" and is destroying the banking system, while it is essential to protect the banking system through bankruptcy reorganization. LaRouche, whose authority has now increased in the context of the Obama presidency and the worsening world crisis, will dedicate his efforts to make sure that Obama really goes the FDR way. Correspondents from Corriere della Sera, AP-Biscom and El Pais raised several questions.

The final question, by a MEP, was about financial speculation, and LaRouche responded by blasting George Soros and particularly his drug operations, which was a real heads-up for the journalists there.

LaRouche was then interviewed by two Italian national news programs, TG1, and TG3, the economic press agency AP-Biscom, the news wire Radiocor (which called from Rome), which is owned by the daily Il Sole 24 Ore, and by the Lega Nord Radio Padania (which called from Milan).

As of this evening, both ANSA and Radiocor had issued their news, which have been picked up by other media.
