70% of Europeans think that their country has benefitted from EU membership – a figure that has remained relatively stable in recent years.

  2. Nice. There are always some idiots, but I love that it’s above 50% across the Union.

  3. In Romania 70% thinks EU is beneficial for them so they voted for an anti-EU candidate.

  6. As a Ukrainian, I can only say that EU is amazing. Can’t understand any people who are against it.

  7. expected 100% from greece but ummm actually no?

  8. There is no way Slovakia is at 80 we have way to many people that are anti-EU

  11. If you want to know if EU membership is beneficial, just look at Britain.

  12. Nice Germany.

    5th time I see this number there, each time for different thing.

  14. 53% in Bulgaria actually concerning, especially with the rise of the far right all across Europe

  15. Romania’s biggest ruling political party new speach is this ” we want to develop with EU money but we need to keep our traditions” .

  16. Here in Croatia 85% are grateful for EU, other 15% are chased by Laura Kovesi.

  17. As a German I just wish that more countries (especially scandinavian countries) would join the Euro aswell.

  19. I allways said it (like literally for years): socail medias like tiktok or instagramm will be the dawn of our current society

  20. France, we wanted out by referendum in 2007 but our traitor president Sarkozy effed up our arses.

  21. The Portuguese are struggling, but we are well aware of how much more screwed we would be without the EU.

  22. Come on France, let’s make our own group. The others don’t like us anyway.

  24. Hey, nothing wrong with free cash as long as Germany is willing to cough up to surpress German nationalism..

  25. Austria seems high. There is no way it’s the majority.

  26. Regarding France: there’s probably a number of wrong reasons not to like the EU here, but I think you need that one too:

    [Arenh prices](https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/france-reduces-volume-nuclear-power-utility-edf-must-sell-cheap-2023-2022-10-27/), forced on us by the EU. To make a long story short: nuclear plants produce energy steadily, renewables don’t. So what brilliant idea did Germany push? Force EDF to sell electricity to its own rivals *below the market price*.

    Renewables operators have moments of the day where their electricity is competitive; other moments where they can’t produce at all. Which means they’re not even viable operators, they need constant public subsidies and/or to buy from a competitor actually able to produce electricity all day (they need both, by the way). Which makes them non-competitive. So to artificially solve the issue, EDF is forced to sell hundreds of TWh below the market price. Which means EDF is accumulating debts as a result. Which also means private operators, rivals of EDF, get to give their shareholders more profits by reselling that electricity at the market price. I don’t know what kind of “free market” is this.

    I like the EU. I want more of it. But this kind of things? If that joke doesn’t stop soon, frankly I’ll begin to question my country’s membership. Let’s get things straight: there’s one major country producing decarbonated electricity, and Germany (the coal strip-mining one, 20x more carbon per kWh of electricity) is using the EU to leech off this country for free.

    This isn’t right. This isn’t fair. Above all else, this is completely stupid.

    **I mean, by that point France is by far the largest exporter of electricity in the EU, and yet it costs us money instead of turning a profit. So I ask: is that the Europhiles definition of a free market? Of fairness?**

    *(I know I’ll get downvoted to oblivion for daring to criticize Germany’s precious belief in all-renewable fantasies, but here’s the thing: if you try to shelter yourself from the truth, the truth will have consequences nonetheless)*

  27. how could they not? access to all countries part of the EU is the dream.

  29. And yet people vote for the right… its unbelievable

  30. Meanwhile in The Netherlands, 2,5m people voted for a party that is in favor of Nexit. They “parked” the topic for now and are apparently not pushing for it during this term, but the party is still in favor. So either this data doesn’t add up (80% for NL) or 25% of the electorate votes against themselves.
