Really, is that how people view it? Do you have any examples...?

There are some really sinister conspiracy theories about the EU, the Euro, and plans for a USA-like federation in Europe, pushed through on the notion that "we must save the Euro, and only Brussels can control the Euro." So basically, not giving people a choice about it. EU is beginning to feel increasingly sinister. I used to love the idealism about it, but right now it feels like it's all about the money. I'm concerned about the issues about the lack of democracy on the decisions.
Just look at Greece, they are essentially not running their own country any more. Brussels and the IMF is. Same thing happened in Latvia a few years ago, but it's smaller so nobody noticed. And who's next....
