Grass backs Saramago

In an interview with the Portuguese magazine Expresso the German author Günter Grass has given his backing to the idea of uniting Portugal and Spain suggested by José Saramago.

“Maybe it won’t happen but it should be given some thought. A single Iberian federal state in Europe would carry more weight than two individual ones,” says Grass.

He adds that the suggestion is interesting and that Saramago deserves credit for speaking his mind on controversial subjects.
