> And now we all have to be solidary with Germany energy problems

I this it's still better than Germany importing Russian gas. Their whole decarbonization strategy was based on Russian gas. This is how we ended up with gas labelled as "green".

If you don't like'em, don't buy German cars, buy Seat. Technically also a German car built in Spain. At least you keep the factory workers employed.

That's your proposed solution? I shouldn't drive a BMW?

I think I will aim for a political solution if you don't mind. There are two possibilities, a functional monetary union and a really democratic union or every country goes its way. Both work for me.

Yeah, that's one way to put pressure on Germany in order to obtain a political solution. If you go to Greece, almost every food product is labelled with ελληνικό προϊόν = greek product, because they do not buy food from Lidl or German beer. Cars? They usually buy Toyotas, French cars (PSA) or Italian FCA.
