The same, incidentally, applies to France, except that the French, unlike the Germans, find it difficult to transfer political sovereignty, whereas for us Germans, it is all about the money. Both of these mental/political blocks are threatening the European project in equal measure.
顺便说一句，法国也面临着同样的局面，只不过与德国不同的是，法国很难转让政治主权，而我们德国人一切向钱看。威胁欧洲工程的思想/政治阻力同样巨大。
