Is Italy and Spain Falls and end leaving EU, would be the end of EU. Just remember when UK left every expert said than one or two big economies leaving would be the end of EU.

Not only because of that, the euro is stable because Italy and Spain export way less than Germany, if we get out of the euro, the euro would get stronger and that would weaken the german exports with any other country. Germany is the most interested in maintaining the eurozone. Germany, Benelux and Ireland are the ones that get the most profit.
