According to a barometer carried out by Viavoice with a sample of 2,000 people, between November 10 and 17, the French would be rather suspicious with respect to the European Union. Francois Beaudonnet, editor-in-chief of the European editorial staff of France Télévisions and Sébastien Maillard, director of the Jacques Institute Of thegolds, analyze survey results.
Thanks to the barometer produced by Viavoice, it is clearly visible that the French have a certain distrust of the European Union (EU). “When you ask the French what they think of the European Union and the next French presidency of the EU, they believe that it will do nothing. Regarding environmental challenges, our fellow citizens do not trust the iEuropean institutions and yet expectations are high “, explains François Beaudonnet, editor-in-chief of the European editorial staff of France Televisions
Despite everything, the French want to believe that Europe can make things happen. “The French have understood that the right scale to fight against global warming is the scale of the continent”, adds François Beaudonnet. “Until the end of the 1980s, France was one of the most Europhile countries. Since then, with the enlargements, the French have the impression of no longer recognizing the original project. They have a certain nostalgia for the Europe before “, reports Sébastien Maillard, director of the Jacques Delors Institute.
