The decision has been made on the future of Europe

The ECB started raising interest rates because they fear inflation.

To protect whom?

The strong countries of Europe: Germany, the Netherlands, UK, France,.... The ECB knows that raising interest rates will be a disaster for the Mediterranean countries and Ireland having debt problems. But they made their decision anyway.

Why?

They do not want to undermine the economic health of the strong countries of Europe -- the backbone of the European Union. It is the only way to save Europe by isolating the crisis, let the poor countries sink and do not let the problems propagate to the strong countries.

The weak countries (including the Eastern Europeans ones) will be left alone with their debt and spend-spend-spend problems.
