The only real trouble they face is from internal right-wing elements, which they're now voting out. The euro is, and will be fine. It's still rather strong, especially compared to ten years ago. These calls of doom and gloom are simply a right-wing boogeyman foisted on the public to blackmail them into accepting the right's policies. Thankfully, it's no longer working.
