Leaving the Euro zone has nothing to do with leaving the EU. Italy and Greece have borrowed too much money from Germany and want a way out of it. At the moment the EU seem rather keen to stay together against Britain and against a hostile sounding US president
- blibble 10y agothe accepted mechanism for leaving the Eurozone involves leaving the EU via Article 50 (same as the UK is doing) alternatives include unilateral withdrawal, a treaty change (impossible), or a council vote (difficult as they don't want it to happen) see https://acelg.blogactiv.eu/2013/03/22/how-to-exit-the-eurozone/ https://acelg.blogactiv.eu/2013/03/22/how-to-exit-the-eurozo... for a more detailed version
- candiodari 10y agoYou do realize the US was the driving force behind the creation and cohesion of the EU ? It seems to me that lack of US support might turn out to be very, very bad for cohesion in the EU rather than good.
- pikzen 10y agoNo. The money might have been from the US. But the creation of the CEE, then later the EU was born of the will of European leaders. Martin Schultz had listened to the US but they weren't the driving force.
