I think it might be a little early to make any guesses. :) I mean,
Hollande
hasn't even formally taken power yet, and, most politicians end up
tacking
in favour of the status quo after election, no matter what they say
during
the campaign itself.
Granted, this is the 50,000 foot view, but I haven't seen anything that
indicates that Hollande's a Euroskeptic in any way. So, the only way I
can see this going wrong is if the far Right or far Left in France or
Germany somehow leverages media coverage into a general campaign of
anger, and that seems to be pretty unlikely at this point.
