Eurobarometer: war and defence, economy and migration, this is what the European citizens are concerned about

“Nearly seven respondents out of ten (69%) agree that the EU has enough power and tools to defend the economic interests of Europe in the global economy”. This is one of the findings of the Eurobarometer survey issued in Brussels today. “Similarly, 69% agree that the European Union is a place of stability in a troubled world”. According to Europeans, security and defence (33%) should be the main priority area for the EU action in the medium term, followed by migration (29%), the economy (28%), climate and the environment (28%), and health (27%). At the same time, 44% of European citizens think that ensuring peace and stability will have the highest positive impact on their life in the short term, followed by securing food, health, and industry supplies in the EU and managing migration (both 27%)”. They think the list of priorities should include: renewable energy (38%), investments in sustainable agriculture (31%), energy infrastructure (28%). The Eurobarometer survey “registered the highest support ever for the common currency”. In the face of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, nearly nine Europeans in ten (87%) agree with providing humanitarian support to the people affected by the war. Six in ten approve of the EU granting candidate status to Ukraine and 58% agree with the EU financing the purchase and supply of military equipment to Ukraine. The war in Ukraine continues to be considered as the most important issue at EU level.
