Dexit

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dexit is a short name for Germany's fictitious exit from the European Union (EU) or within the EU from the euro zone . The word Dexit is based on the term Grexit for the discussed EU exit of Greece: It is a suitcase word from De (for "Germany") and exit (English for "Breitt"). The term has been picked up in the international press since 2016 and the topic has also been implemented in some satirical art projects.

Dexit as leaving the EU

One of the meanings of the term Dexit lies in Germany's exit from the EU, similar to the idea of Öxit in Austria or Brexit in the United Kingdom . According to an opinion poll carried out by the EU, approval of membership of the European Union is comparatively high among the German population at 82% (EU average 62%). A similarly positive view of the EU can also be found among young Europeans, as 71% of young Europeans (16 to 26 year olds) would vote against leaving the EU in a referendum. A German exit from the EU is also categorically rejected in business circles. The coalition agreement between the CDU / CSU and the SPD contains a clear commitment to the EU, Alliance 90 / The Greens also advocate the cohesion of the EU and the FDP wants to strengthen and expand it. The Left Party takes a critical stance on Europe, criticizing gaps in justice in the EU. Significant advocates for a Dexit are in the Alternative for Germany , the Patriotic platform to find and other right-wing groups that a Dexit as a last resort to see if fundamental reforms of the European Union fail.

Dexit as leaving the euro zone

Another meaning of the term Dexit is to leave the euro currency union - de facto, to reintroduce the D-Mark . In contrast to the complete exit from the EU, this idea is being discussed in business circles. This would not call into question the remaining in the European Union . As explanations for the motivation behind such considerations, some authors cite that it arises from doubts about the sustainability and fairness of the burden of the monetary union, which is still suffering from the euro crisis that has not been finally overcome .
