Angela Merkel is not alone. In these years of tough political struggle within the eurozone, Berlin has had the constant support of the Governments of the Netherlands, Austria and Finland. These three countries, totaling some 31 million inhabitants and nearly 12% of GDP in the euro zone have so far opposed a strenuous resistance to the demands of European debt pooling, unorthodox actions of the European Central Bank or softening of the fiscal conditions imposed on countries rescued.
Sometimes in the European political struggle, these small countries are described as mere squires of Berlin. But have special relevance. Must be taken into account at least two factors: first, is that in Europe the right of veto of each state still hangs over a wide range of policies, the second is that along with Germany, the front of rigor (mortis ¿? ) financial and moral accounts for 40% of euro area GDP and, especially, the core whose finances remains the best rating agency (though Austria suffered a cut). This is a key element in ensuring the credibility and facilitate leverage of European funding rescue.
Public opinion in affluent countries reject these overwhelming majority have to pay the debts of others. In all three cases, populist parties have ridden those feelings and reaped remarkable results. The local governments have been very conscious of this, and still do. Its three finance ministers flatly refused during a Eurogroup last week to soften the conditions imposed on Greece. But the front is now less strong than before. And, on the other side of the trench, the coming to power of François Hollande and new Mario Monti shaft and Mariano Rajoy has changed the balance.

Holland is currently a caretaker government and hold early elections on 12 September. The eurosceptic populist Freedom Party of Geert Wilders withdrew the external support provided to the Executive coalition (Liberal Democrat) Dutch. The casus belli was the plan to cuts driven by the prime minister Mark Rutte to meet the European target of containing the deficit below 3% of GDP.
A recent poll indicates that 64% of Dutch oppose the idea of moving towards greater European political integration, and only 20% believe that the solution of the crisis is to transfer more powers to Brussels. The closeness of the election day course encourages particularly the ruling parties not to accept measures that would be unpopular. But at the same time, having a functioning government and early elections in September will undermine the ability of Dutch influence on the summit on Thursday and Friday and in the important weeks ahead.
In Austria, the coalition government (Social-Democrat) led by Chancellor Werner Faymann has relaxed its position. "Things that we were opposed to head-up a couple of months ago now seem less questionable now in light of the alternatives," said a government source told Reuters Austrian. "For example, in terms of Eurobonds, something that we refused absolutely, keep saying it is not our first choice, but long term we are willing to consider" the source said.
Austrian Finance Minister, Maria Fekter, has walked several European calluses in recent months with his harsh rhetoric and explicit, but in the Vienna Parliament recently gave a resounding pro-European speech: "Europe is our guarantee of peace. We do not want nationalism shoot. It has happened before, and know that we must avoid it, "Fekter said, referring to the rise of the far right before the Nazi annexation.
In Austria too, the right-wing populist Freedom Party led by Heinz-Christian Strache remains strong in the polls, over 20% of the vote. The Austrian current term will run out next year.
Finland, however, remains strong pulse. "Too many countries have been too many loans too cheap for too long. We do not want to institutionalize this if it ensures that everyone respects the rules, which has not been the case so far, "said Jyrki Katainen recently, Finnish Prime Minister. Its government is pro-European and strives not to obstruct the search for solutions to the crisis, but more than one occasion has remained firm in their demands.
The Nordic country in the nineties overcame a severe crisis that forced major cuts in their welfare state. To a large extent, the Finnish public believes that countries can and must overcome difficult problems with their efforts. The Authentic Finnish populist party has exploited this feeling and was able to fund 19% of the votes in the parliamentary elections last year. In subsequent presidential elections, however, their result was more modest.
