Euro Crisis: Italy vs Germany is Threat to EU

Italian resentment toward Germany is growing, putting the eurozone, and
the European Union, at risk of a catastropic break up, Italian prime
minister Mario Monti has claimed. 

Monti told Der Spiegel magazine tensions "bear the traits of a
psychological dissolution of Europe". Asked about a strengthening
resentment between southern European states and thriftier northern bloc
members  - Germany in particular -  Monti said the mood of the people was
"very alarming". 

People in the south and the north held "reciprocal prejudices," he
claimed. 

It comes after an Italian newspaper featured Angela Merkel with her arm
raised and the headline "Quarto Reich" on its front page.
