So first of all what crisis are we talking about here, a fiscal crisis (there is definitely one in France) or the sometimes violent protests? And can you spell out the exact connection to eurozone in this 'spreading'? Also why did it spread only to 4 Eurozone countries and not the rest?

why?

We don't have a Gambia here and you understand a common currency is only one part of the project. What we have are many different countries that are indeed converging - for example we've got car factories in countries that never had them before on this scale. Can you without looking it up say which EU member produces the most cars per capita? But we have to do more of that convergence.
And yeah, a political union would help, but then we both know it's not possible currently, so an ever tighter federation has to suffice for now.
> (also converging to what?)
to freely (as freely as possible) doing business across internal EU borders, in this case
