With the UK'S leave, the net receivers in the Euro zone have always a majority in the (rotating) director'S board of the ECB. Lagarde and her crew are strictly francophile socialists. The EU parliament tics far left. The Maastricht criteria have been illegally and silently abandoned completely. Germany has given up resistence to the socialisation of European states' debts. Berlin pays the by far biggets heap in the EU budget, and its proportional share will even grow with London'S leave.
And Greek and Italians have always called it German dominance when the country that finances and guarantees more of their debts than any other, called them to cut their deficits and cut their expenses, which is very reaosnable. They always wanted to get a free ride out of heir - self provoked - mismanagement crisis. We netto pay them, but we have no right to demand them to manage better and to cut their spendings shorter? Well, I am all for not paying them anymore at all!
German dominance? Exactly the opposite. I said it before: its France you have to watch out for. Finances in desastrous state. Claim for dominance, and centrlaism, tailored to suit French interests. And major parts of the EU bureaucracy and adminstration set up far francophile-leaning. Von der Leyen is just a puppet, she was accepted by Hungary and Pland only because one knew how weak a leader she would be. She was not even third choice for heading the commission. The wanted German candidate, Weber, was brought to fall by a French ploy since he was a threat to the Frenchs' plans. The german represenative in he ECB board, has been replaced with a toothless tiny figure of whom I have heard only twice since her appointance, and both times she supported the catastrophic ways of Gangsterlagarde.
German dominance. I can just laugh about that.
We are she stupids and the gold-$h!tting donkey of the others, and for that we even get attacked and offended at times. Without Berlin's cowardice and cheques, Paris could go and pack up its things regarding their plan to dominate Europe. They want to be much more than they could maintain and finance by their own means.
Not to be seen as ugly evil Nazigermans again is the top priority of German politics.
Not Germany. France you have to watch out for, both for their claims, and their desastrous budget. And when they stumble and fall, its over with the Euro.
BTW, Berlusconi was a monkey joke like Trump. No respect deserved at all. Wanting to get endlessly paid by other nations, his Italy's claim for debt reliefs was not difficult to get objcted to. Or do
you hand over money to just ever beggar demanding it from you?
We give others the money which then they give us back to pay for goods the want to buy from us and that we have produced and designed so that they want to have them. Wouldn't it be easier we work and produce unpaid for free, and do not sell thigns but hand them to others gratis -
and we skip the step with giving them money and getting it back as "payment"? 
Its an unneeded complication.
..
I also laugh about the argument that Germany gets back money from the EU. The point is we sent more money to brussels than we get back, so we are net payers, and by a far lead we are. I am all for refusing to get "gifts" from Brussel, and as compensation we send no money to Brussel in the first.
