German Anti-Euro Party

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22141618

The "Alternative for Germany" Party is opposed to keeping the Euro alive. The party is speaking out, suggesting that states should return to their old forms of currency. They are not a huge group but they may have enough support to take some votes away from Merkel in the upcoming elections. The interesting thing about this party is the statements it has made on its mission and issues. They suggested that the euro is a failure and they want to see it gradually go away, or have a devaluation at the least. They seemed upset that the problems with the euro has caused comparisons to Nazi Germany from the South. Despite the emergence of this group two-thirds of Germans are in favor of the Euro.
