Spain tops the list of countries that require the Director of the IMF give

Changes en el   Fondo Monetario Internacional   (FMI) suelen producirse como en un Kabuki -el teatro japonés tradicional-, a cámara lenta. Pero no con   Dominique Strauss-Kahn. Arrecian las presiones para que el director gerente del FMI,   en prisión por una presunta agresión sexual   a una camarera en un hotel de Manhattan, renuncie a su puesto de forma fulminante. Por tierra, mar y aire: desde el propio Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI), desde Europa y desde los países emergentes. La vicepresidenta y ministra de Economía y Finanzas española, Elena Salgado, ha sido una de las voces más directed against the director of the Fund. "You have to trust that in this case at least Strauss-Kahn use your best discretion. In others, it seems that you have done," he said Tuesday at the output of a meeting in Brussels, described as "extreme serious "allegations and added that their solidarity is with the woman who has suffered the attack, if indeed it has been so"

At least half a dozen politicians in Europe used a similar tone, perhaps more lowered. Next to Salgado, the Austrian Minister Maria Fekter was one of the clearest on a possible resignation: "Once you have been denied bail, should realize that is damaging to the institution. "The IMF itself has exerted indirect pressure on Monday to clarify that the immunity of its director is limited and inapplicable in this case," said spokesman Fund , William Murray.

Pulse by series

The fence is close. Although Strauss-Kahn has denied the charges, is considered a political corpse in France and a challenge to the international economy for the key role Fund-and-DSK own fiscal crisis in Europe and in the search for a solution to global imbalances, which in summary are that some countries and in particular China-save too much and others, the United States must stop consuming so much to start saving.

The pulse by series of Strauss-Kahn is being waged between Europe and emerging hopes that the U.S. ruling. China has entered the fray: Jiang Yu, spokeswoman of Chinese Foreign Ministry, would not go into details, but clearly expressed wishes of the second economic power in the world pass by a new leadership of the Fund to set aside the tradition-from its foundation, the IMF has been headed by a European, and based on "fairness, transparency and merit." Brazil pressed in the same direction.

French Minister Christine Lagarde is best placed to replace Strauss-Kahn, whether this resigns, or is the Fund's executive board who he is removed, a solution is not discarded. Salgado left yesterday patents preferences of ministers of the euro: "It seems reasonable that the director of the IMF is European: European countries are major contributors to the Fund, the current director is and if at any time is expected to be replaced, obviously We wish it were. " Salgado went for a woman to ensure that women in positions of responsibility. That leaves virtually alone Lagarde.

"What the IMF needs is a good crisis," said 10 years ago Michael Mussa, former chief economist of the Fund. Mussa imagined then an economic crisis returned to the Fund a role in the global economy. As no one thought it a scandal of the caliber of an indictment for rape, which some countries want to take to change the balance of power in the IMF in the same direction as the change of guard in the Global Economy: West to East. Europe refuses to budge. "The fiscal crisis leaves us in a difficult situation and it is logical that the Europeans want to continue to have influence in the IMF," said the Swedish Minister Anders Borg. Lagarde takes two days, refusing to comment on his possible candidacy. But at least it has maintained a respectful silence, hardly anyone in Europe nurtures the version of Strauss-Kahn or appeal to the presumption of innocence. The exception is Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, a personal friend of the accused: "I'm sad. I do not like what you see in the pictures and television," he managed to declare in Brussels.
