Good Riddance.
If you consider the European Union to be the modern rebirth of the Carolingian Empire (the area covering France, Belgium and Germany with it’s capitol in Aix-la-Chapelle/Aachen) then ignoring the problems in a vassal province seems predictable.
It’s the usual pattern again. I recall that part of the fallout from Greek austerity (and the machinations of the European Stability Mechanism) was that Greece refused to enforce immigration restrictions, triggering a wave of massive immigration from the Middle East and North Africa. Spain and Italy might play that game again, or they might come up with some other passive-aggressive means to strike back at France and Germany.
I think this will also depend on how bad things get. If recovery from the coronavirus is relatively soon and the harm doesn’t get much worse (neither which seems likely in the absence of a working vaccine), then this faultline will remain unruptured. Else, Spain and Italy (as well as other low performance members) may come up with various ways they can cause problems for the rest.
