Politico: Three out of four Europeans say the euro’s a good thing

A big majority of people in all 19 eurozone countries support the common euro currency and think it’s a good thing for the bloc, an annual Eurobarometer survey found — as first reported by Brussels Playbook.

Ireland, Luxembourg, Slovenia and Spain are the leading euro supporters, with 80 percent or more of respondents saying it’s a “good” thing for their country. Italy, Cyprus, Belgium and France are the least convinced. [...]

In Italy, 70 percent of respondents no longer convert euros back to the lira — up 4 points from last year. In France and Germany, 60 percent and 58 percent, respectively, have weaned themselves off their old francs and marks.
