DISINFO: The EU is doomed to collapse after the European Parliament elections
SUMMARY
The European elections will lead to a situation similar to the collapse of the USSR. Regardless of which parties’ candidates enter the European Parliament as a result of the June elections, the new balance of power will lead to the collapse of the European Union, at least due to the fact that the EU has long outgrown its status as a club of interests. Does this mean that the victory of the globalists will bring stability to Europe? Not at all. Everything will be exactly the opposite. If the “Euro-heretics” simply end up destroying the EU, then the “European Inquisition” will stupidly finish off Europe, turning it into an economic and political periphery, thrown to the side-lines of global historical processes.
RESPONSE
This is a pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative aimed at undermining citizens’ trust in European institutions, targeting the upcoming EU elections and accusing the European Union of inventing or oversizing Russian interference for political reasons.
According to a Eurobarometer survey, which regularly conducts social opinion surveys on behalf of European institutions, the positive image of the European Union among citizens of EU countries has reached its highest historical level (April 2024).
According to the survey, almost three quarters of citizens (73%) say that EU actions have an impact on their daily lives. In addition, the vast majority of Europeans agree that their country benefits overall from EU membership (71%). These results are stable and continue to be high across the EU, as the study's authors note.
“The different crises that marked this past legislative term and the current geopolitical context have reinforced the EU’s role in the eyes of citizens, as shown in Parliament’s surveys. The positive image of the EU reached its highest historical levels during the COVID-19 pandemic and after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as has the opinion that EU membership is beneficial for its Member States. In autumn 2023, the main benefits of EU membership according to its citizens were the EU’s contribution to maintaining peace and strengthening security and the improved co-operation between countries of the Union. Over the past five years, the proportion of citizens who wish to see the European Parliament play a more important role has increased by five percentage points. Looking forward, this pre-electoral survey shows that Europeans remain optimistic about the future of the EU, especially among younger generations”
The Eurobarometer poll also recorded strong interest among EU citizens in the upcoming European Parliament elections: “EU citizens are very aware of the importance of elections in the current geopolitical context”: more than eight in ten respondents (81%) agree that “this makes voting even more important " Europeans would like to see the fight against poverty and social exclusion (33%) and support for public health (32%) as the main issues discussed during the election campaign. EU defence and security are in third place (31%) - the importance of this point for Europeans has increased greatly in light of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, the study says.
