I admit that I don't understand Germany. Their current government is the Christian Democratic Union, while the second largest party is a socialist party.
The CDU is essentially centre-right. While they're fiscal conservatives, they do have leanings towards a fully integrated mixed economy through social spending/programs and government intervention where necessary. They're driven by Catholic and protestant ethics. Wouldn't it be in their best interest to help other integrated economies stabilize?
