who just happen to use the Euro and their economies are fast sinking while their unions and social programs are being gutted?

Really now. The Euro is far more important to companies like Daimler that once had to deal with suppliers and dealers keeping track of twenty or so currencies and not knowing what they were actually making or paying. It's also pretty popular with hundreds of thousands people on what was once the Maginot Line in testier times, and other borders, who cross them daily for work, shopping, visiting relatives... Making change used to be a pain.

European unity may or may not happen, but the Euro was the first step in that direction.
