62 % der Europäer glauben, dass die EU-Mitgliedschaft ihres Landes eine gute Sache ist

I’m surprised with Czechia- they were very pro-EU and literally got richer when they entered EU- they are scared of Russia and saw EU as a protector. They are the richest country of all ex communist countries and yet they now hate EU??

I’m surprised by east europe, i thought they were much more pro EU than that.
France is higher than I thought tho. I was expected something like 35-40%

Can someone explain to me why is the support so low in net beneficiaries like Romania, Bulgaria and Poland? EU membership has been such a great deal for them, don’t they like getting our money?

I m shocked for my country, Greece.
When I was growing up, in the 90s/early 2000s, the European Union had universal support from the people here (with the exception of a 4-5% of the communist party, but even they weren’t fanatics against EU).
All this pariah treatment that the union reserved for us during 10s – because we screwed up our finances to a certain extent – the vengeful fury to punish us so that we and the other countries would learn their lesson, left a mark on us.

The union should not do to any other country what it did to Greece (remember they shut our ATMs before the referendum in order to vote what Brussels wanted, we said fcuk you, but Alexis fooled us all <3 ).

You cant destroy a society in order to send some messages. You cant play with people’s life. 

And even today, so many years after that, nobody apologised, only IMF kind of said we were wrong  on the extend of the measures we took etc.

Fcuk, you made me Eurosceptic again -_-

EU is doomed. In France it’s mostly boomers and left/right extrémists that are against EU. They’re eating pro Russian or pro Trump stuff all day long from their media.

Ironically it’s about 62% of Britons who’d rather be in the EU these days too.

I never understood why any of these Eastern European countries are not +90% support for eu. Can someone from these countries enlighten me? I understand different cultural backgrounds etc. but after all aren’t they are in much better shape with EU than without it?

I would say „Together we are stronger“ is pretty engrained in the spanish culture, even if it fails in politics.

I’ve always though that’s why we are better in team sports and our best athletes shine specially at playmaking and teamwork.

We may not believe in it firmly, but we believe in staying together.

Am I imagining, or does this look just like the map of net payers/recipients? I find it crazy the net payers seem happier with EU than the recipients.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that the most EU sceptic nations probably benefit the most from the EU.

I guess majority is dissatisfied with the political decision not on the union itself. I believe everyone born on european soil is very proud of their own country and of this union.

What happens in the EU is actually a bit a different topic. Unclear border policies, Spain approving 500.000 immigrants, immigrant businesses backed by companies or untrustworthy politicians.

My 2 cents having lived in 3 states of the EU.

I guess Eastern Europeans don’t like being net recipients? 

Probably similar figure also now in my home the UK… Huge majority who voted to leave are now dead (old age) and none of us young people thought Brexit was a good idea!!
