Houses and debt in crisis
Some countries in the EU (Greece, Spain, Italy, Portual and Ireland) have a national debt so high, that no one is willing to lend them money anynmore, or only at huge amounts of interest. Because these countries spend more than they earn, they need the money to keep the country from going bankrupt.
t is because the government spent a lot of money
During times of economic prosperity, some nations borrowed more money than they can pay back now in times of economic hardship.
A stable economy and a debt that is under control.
The European Union is still dealing with its immense debt crisis and the falling of the Euro.
Both. The Europeans are working together to help with the Euro crisis, but there are some setbacks. There is chaos in politics and some people don't want to help as they fear it'll drag their country down more into the debt crisis.
Well, currently the Euro is intertwined with the European debt crisis, meaning the currency isn't doing so hot right now. However, the Euro has been slowly recovering.
Denmark has had an opt-out on adopting the Euro since 1992. A referendum to adopt the Euro was held in 2000, but was rejected by just over half the population. Danish politicians have pushed for another referendum since 2000, with Danish supporting for adopting the Euro rising ever since then. However, when the European debt crisis hit in 2008, support for the Euro fell dramatically. Adopting the Euro is now opposed by about 2/3 of Danes. The United Kingdom is the only other country to have an official opt-out on joining the Eurozone. The British oppose adopting the Euro much more than the Danes, European debt crisis or not. If and when the European debt crisis subsides, Denmark could very well hold another referendum and vote for the Euro in the future.
It started in 2008 but it was only until the end of 2008 when it intensified.

The Euro has been in some rough patches the last couple of years. However, it's position is still considerably good considering its history. The Euro entered the market in 2002 and was equivalent to about $0.80. It has slowly kept rising against the dollar and hit an all time high of about $1.60 in 2008. However, the Euro fell to about $1.20 in 2012 for the first time in two years as a result of the European debt crisis, especially due to Greece and Spain. Now, the Euro is tied in with the European debt crisis. However, since July, the Euro has been slowly rising once more and is now equivalent to about $1.30.
