A poll recently published in the French newspaper, Le Monde, revealed the EU’s euro currency is getting somewhat tarnished in France,It seems a third of French voters want to drop the euro and return to the franc, such is its growing unpopularity. The euro has really been struggling of late as the common sense warnings from economists and EU sceptics that a single currency across the differing nations of Europe could not work.
The survey shows that 36 per cent of voters in France want to quit the single currency, 45 per cent thought the euro is a problem and “handicaps” the French economy and 62 per cent considered the EU’s euro limited their spending power and made them feel worse off.
Naturally, the French finance ministry said that pulling out of the euro would be “disastrous” for France, although, as usual, no reason was given why it would be so.
As the euro disaster unfolds soon all the eurozone nations will have no option but to return to their tradition currencies. It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings – other than another predictable EU cave-in by David Cameron.
