The Duran Quick Take: Episode 538. The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the EU recovery plan which is preparing to create a trillion euro escape route from the Covid-19 pandemic. The leaders of the 27 EU nations already agreed to a €540 billion rescue package. Italy and Spain, which stand second and third in Covid-19 cases and deaths, have the right to borrow from the bailout mechanism, but are reluctant to do so in fear that taking on more EU debt would bury southern Europe in never ending austerity programs.
