What is the argument against? What do Bulgarians supposedly stand to lose by being able to cross into Greece and Romania without border controls?
I mean, this is how you fuel euroscepticism. I’m not saying they are right or wrong but most probably people are now like “you know what dude, fuck this shit!”.
Just to add, support for the Euro and in general for the EU is at an all-time low. We are supposed to introduce the Euro on Jan 1st, 2024 but a lot of people are opposed to this. [Here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgaria_and_the_euro) at the end of the article you can see the support for the Euro throughout the years.
Last year we had 3 parliamentary elections. During the 1st two no eurosceptic party entered the parliament, after the 3rd elections at the end of 2021, the ultra-far right eurosceptic party enter with ~4% support and were the 7th biggest party (the smallest one). They want to have a referendum against adopting the Euro and in regards to our EU membership, as well as a referendum about leaving NATO. During this years parliamentary elections they got 10% support and are currently the 4th biggest party. We have elections again in the beginning of 2023 and they are polling to gain even more support.
P.S. Bulgaria was extremely pro-Schengen, pro-EU, pro-Euro, pro-NATO back in 2007 when we joined, as you can see both graphs for Schengen and Euro support.
Fun times 🙂
Huh. Weird.
Seeing countries losing hope is sad, especially for Bulgaria with it’s ever shrinking small population.
Ok … another good reason not to let them in. They no longer want it.
Nice chart. So 34 is more than 42?
Can we kick Netherlands out of the EU? They can have their own Frugal Union, the shortcut would be self-explanatory.
