Romanians stick to EU membership despite current disinformation campaigns

No comments

Romanians still want to be part of NATO, despite the political vote that was considered, in  December, to be more like a frustration response caused by high inflation, political leaders or deficient institutions. 

 

In the most recent INSCOP survey, ordered by Funky Citizens, most of the Romanians (60.9%) declared  that, unfortunately, the country is heading down a wrong path. Only 28% of the citizens think the country is heading in a good direction. 

87.5% of the respondents believed that West ( EU, USA, NATO), is the right choice for the country, meanwhile 4.1% of people who participated the survey think the country should be on East side ( Russia, China)

According to the impact that Romania becoming part of the EU had on their lives- economically and socially – 72.5% of the respondents think this event brought mostly advantages.15.8% of them believe that in the future, Romania might have better chances to develop if it will no longer be part of the EU. 

80.4% of the people who participated in the survey consider the USA and Europe to bring a positive influence in their country. Still, 9 % of the respondents believe that Russia and China are a better influence for Romania. 

Also, 57.1% of Romanians believe the country should stand for itself when it does not agree with EU rules even though that means risking to lose it’s position as a member state and 36.3% of the participants think that Romania- as a member of the Union,  should respect the rules even when those are beyond national interests.

In the end , 88.1% of the respondents think Romania shouldn’t leave the European Union or NATO.

The survey was done between 16-23rd of December 2024, on a sample of 1000 persons over 18 years old.
