BERLIN (MNI) – A majority of German voters backs Chancellor Angela
Merkel’s tough stance in the Eurozone debt crisis, according to a survey
released Wednesday.

Some 54% of those surveyed said Merkel’s policy line during the
crisis has been the right one. Seventy two percent say that Merkel is
well representing German interests abroad.

The representative poll by the Forsa institute — commissioned by
German magazine Stern — surveyed 1,003 respondents from July 5 to 6.
