The German economy is one of the three leading global countries which are running on healthy trade surplus. The leading European performer has been forced to contribute liberally in the last few years, in order to keep the European union intact.
But the German public anger is growing against this tax payer funding for the failures of other European countries. So Germany is now planning to act tough during the coming negotiations within the European Union countries. That could spell trouble for all other weak countries like Spain, Portugal , Ireland and Greece.
The move could ultimately make borrowing difficult for the weaker European countries in the immediate term.
