Eurobarometer è organo dell’Unione Europea. Pubblica periodicamente dei report di indagini statistiche.
La Tabella riportata fornisce una inequivocabile radiografia dello stato dell’Unione.
Alla domanda “la mia voce conta nell’Unione Europea?” solo il 51% degli intervistati ha risposto in modo affermativo.
In ben tredici stati le risposte affermative sono di gran lunga minori: Ungheria (46%), Bulgaria (46%), Portogallo (43%), Spagna (42%), Romania (39%), Lituania (32%), Regno Unito (31%), Lettonia (27%), Italia (26%), Cipro (24%), Repubblica Ceka (22%), Estonia (22%), e Grecia (22%).
Sono ben tredici su ventotto le nazioni che si sentono tagliate fuori dall’Unione Europea.
Sono in prevalenza gli stati dell’ex est europeo.
Però, si badi bene, anche loro votano in seno al Consiglio Europeo, condizionandone le decisioni.
Ci si ragioni sopra bene, con cura. Sicuramente non sono la maggioranza, ma nel contempo sono una minoranza della quale sarebbe impossibile non tenerne conto.

Dal Report riportato a seguito emerge sostanzialmente come l’idea di un’Europa Unita non sia sgradito, mentre ben poco gradito è stato il comportamento della Commissione Europea.
