Does Germany hurt or help Europe?

Germany receives praise and condemnation for being the only winner in Europe. Regardless, Germany will have to play a leading role in Europe, three German journalists said at a symposium in Tokyo.

One of the three argued German strength comes from diligence and will definitely work positively for Europe. The second explained Germany's energy policy, which is shifting toward renewable energy away from nuclear power. The third argued that for the sake of Europe, Germany and France should work together to lead it.
