An expression that emerges from the results of a survey Last, to express the will to want to stay within the European Union. A choice that, however, is not the result of pure self-denial; but it has claims that are not even that inappropriate: politicians must change this Europe, which belongs more to finance than to the people.
After the economic crisis that exploded in 2008, which resulted in the application of the austerity theory; the inability to effectively manage substantial migratory phenomena dictated by the tumultuous conflicts in the Middle East; the advent of Brexit, an event synonymous with the precariousness of the political stability of the united continent. They have done nothing but outline the profile of a Europe that is weak and exposed to the real risk of a possible division. However, this latest survey shows how far the reality of an anti-European majority in Italy is still far away. But the pro-European supporters do not fail to show dissatisfaction with the directives undertaken so far, thus asking for new economic and political strategies.
The data of the survey
The Italians were asked what positions they would take in anticipation of a popular referendum establishing the permanence or "exit" from the Union. 56,3% of voters believe that elected politicians should deal with it, given the complexity of the question; from the other bell, however, 28,1% would also like to own this responsibility. Whether Brexit has affected the answer to these questions, we cannot say with certainty; we can, however, contextualize how much prudence there is among the opinions of Italians on this issue.
If the front of the skeptics towards the EU, which they believe is the Uninone to have generated the basis of the economic crisis in our country, is 13%; the antithesis of skepticism, which places confidence in the search for possible measures to improve the fortunes of the country, is 28%. But the majority of Italians, about 57,5%, cannot escape the thought of no longer being considered Europeans; from this expression it is clear how much the new nationalist tendencies which would like to enclose the world have not yet taken root.
However, there is another curious expression relative to the EU. The idea of going back to the concept of national currency, trashing the euro, worries 64,4% of the interviewees; a portion that believes how much the euro has amortized the financial precipitation caused by the 2008 crisis. The other portion believes that Italy, in exercising its position within Europe, should re-discuss a more appropriate flexibility plan as regards financial constraints and coordination between the economic policies of the various nations. Four fifths of Italians (80,5%) would be of this opinion.
More supporters for Europe
The sum of the guidelines expressed, compared to the data collected in 2014, clarifies a clear contrast between the parties interviewed. On the one hand, the pro-Europeans, convinced of the need for Italy to remain within the EU; which account for two thirds of the population (67,4%), an increase compared to 2014 (63,6%). On the other hand, the anti-euro, which have a small percentage of participants (15,2%), but to be considered since they are slightly up, compared to 2014 (11,7%). So we would draw from it how much the "feeble euros", in favor of the Union, but still persuaded by doubt, are down compared to 2014 (9,4% today; 13,9% in 2014); and how much euro-skeptics in favor of leaving the European Union have decreased (by 2,8% compared to 2014).
