Thanks for that link, those are good news! Just like Spain is a multicultural country where interoperability between citizens is seen superior to unification, I feel the same with Europe. We should work together, each country bringing their strengths. If in the future Bizum and other country specific solutions disappear or are renamed I don't really care as long as everything is done as efficiently as possible.

I'll admit that I should have said french-german instead of northern Europe, in my defense the articles I linked only mentioned Spain, Portugal and Italy, but Netherlands had the same reaction as you said so that wasn't a fair assessment.

The day I can use Bizum/Wero/??? to pay my groceries will be glorious. ❤️
