The EURO is in trouble, the monetary union is threatened, the sovereign debt contagion is now spreading from Greece to Spain, Portugal, Poland and will soon engulf Ireland and Italy. While I will still occasionally publish one of these stories either here or on the headlines page, I will utilize this 'tracking post' as the primary means of updating breaking European stories.
Whenever I post a new story, I will move this post to the top of the site, which is the cue that something has been added inside.
The newest stories will always be at the top.
