There is also a lot of dissent over the migrant crisis and the way Germany handled it and then back tracked.

It does but that's all the more reason to support the principles of the EU against these far-right movements in Europe that would destabilise the continent. There is a lot of resentment towards Germany and to the status quo in Europe, I agree with that, but lets not forget how far we have come since even a few decades ago. When the EEC was formed half of Europe was still living under the Iron Curtain and Germany itself was split in two. That's why to some extent it was always a political organisation because it was the latest attempt to try and heal the scars of post war Europe.
