La sentenza del BVerfG sul Public Sector Purchase Programme: un’Europa sempre più difficile

The aim of this paper is to analyze the sentence of the Bundesverfassungsgericht on the Public Sector Purchase Programme (PSPP), adopting a perspective which combines law, economics and history. In this sense, initially, the focus will be adressed toward the “european path” of the German Constitutional Court since the case Solange to the most recent pronunciations about the initiatives implemented by the European Central Bank. Subsequently the article will depeen the possible consequences of the 5 May judgement while, further, there will be a consideration about the tasks, and the ideological base, ofthe Frankfurt’s institute. Finally, we will suggest a reflection on the overall german approach to the European Union, trying to understand what role this country is ready to play in the forthcoming continental scenario.
