A new study by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) reveals a significant crisis of confidence in the European Union among citizens in six European countries. The research indicates that 56% of citizens surveyed believe the European Union is currently “in danger.” This perception of vulnerability stems from a widespread feeling of decline felt by a majority of those polled. The exclusive investigation highlights growing concerns about the EU’s future stability and effectiveness. The study underscores a weakening of faith in the Union's ability to address current challenges. This sentiment reflects a broader sense of unease within these nations regarding the EU project. Further details on the specific countries surveyed and the nuances of these feelings will be released with the full report.
