Absolutely. The pro-European movement that's been going on for many many decades has as an ultimate goal to unite the peoples of Europe so we can live in peace. United in diversity, as the EU motto claims. A great % of Europeans you met before 2008 would agree with this. There's now —sadly— little left going around of the "Alle Menschen werden Brüder" that our shared anthem sings (all men become brothers under the gentle wing of joy). A bunch of unscrupulous cronies sold both northern and southern Europeans up the river just to make a profit for themselves and their friends. No damn statesmanship to be seen anywhere. Long gone are the times Schroeder and other much-more-respectable leaders, we now have to put up with the likes of Lagarde and Juncker. And, of course, Tsipras and Varoufakis, amateur hour, who have been absurdly reckless in their handling of the negotiations and PR.
