Europinion
Most Europeans are still unaware as to where they are going with the European Union. The natives here certainly don’t have a clue, or even care. Although in a recent “Europinion” the eastern Germans (47%) were actually among the groups who feel most informed about the Union, 60% of the western Germans have the impression of being “not very well” or “not at all well” informed about the process.
The recent vote in France must have made all of this abundantly clear. Even the deepest-sleeping European bureaucrat in Brussels must have seen this one as a wake-up call. Nothing’s happened since then, of course. They’re all still licking their wounds. Or maybe they don’t feel at all well informed, either.
Yup, according to the "Eurobarometer", stormy times may be approaching. Does anybody I know here give a hoot? Nope. There’s no consensus out there even about what Europe is supposed to be, much less become.
