Fierce German resistance to helping crisis-hit Greece has emerged in a Financial Times opinion poll. Reports says that this "strengthens the hand of Angela Merkel, the chancellor, before a possible European showdown this week over financial aid for Athens". Germans oppose Greek aid Germans overwhelmingly opposed offering financial support to Greece as it struggles to control its public sector deficit and are strikingly more hostile than other Europeans, including the British, the FT/Harris poll showed. Almost a third of Germans believed Greece should be asked to leave the eurozone. Further highlighting flagging support for the euro, some 40 per cent of Germans also thought Europe’s biggest economy would be better off outside the single currency – a significantly higher level of skepticism than in France, Spain or Italy, the report said. The results follow a warning on Sunday by Merkel against raising “false expectations” in financial markets of a eurozone bail-out package for Greece, the newspaper writes.
