They really don't get it.
The whole idea of a European Union and a eurozone come from the far left -- Big Central government is NOT a rightwing phenomenon, not even close. (Remember the Russian slogan: "Proletariats of the WORLD unite"?
Yes, the Soviets wanted a supranational government too. Surprised?)
But the political situation is a bit murky, partly because some of the founders of the EU were former Nazis, which makes the less-astute think that the EU is a rightwing phenomenon.
The thing most people miss, tragically, is that the like-minded Hitler and Stalin were best of allies for the first 2 years and were both statists through and through, who wanted a state-run planned economy (communism, similar to the corporatism to which the West is now in thrall). The best kept secret in the world is that socialist Hitler was at least as far left as Lenin and Stalin. (If you are having trouble wrapping your intellect around that thorny concept, see the video The Soviet Story -- linked at bottom).
So now that this wealth redistribution experiment has failed abjectly, what do the sheeple want?
Why MORE leftwing wealth redistribution, of course (has anyone considered: what wealth?, now that the EU has picked their bones?).
Greece goes FURTHER left:
French move FURTHER left:
There has never been a truly rightwing ruling party in the last 100 years, unless you insist on completely mislabeling the Nazis.
Yet Europe has been scared silly into believing that Hitler was a right winger, and since he was the most heinous dictator most Europeans had ever seen, why, obviously, the right must be outlawed and shunned, and the left will always be the savior of the masses, no matter how much reality and clarity of mind interfere with this myth. This die-hard threadbare lie needs to be expunged ASAP. Either way, reality will win out as both Greece and France go further into irrelevance and economic ruin.
This promises to be a long, drawn-out saga as people learn the hard way the lesson that brought the Soviets and the Chinese back to reality. What was that lesson?
That no matter how much power you have, you can't plan an economy.
