I do, but I am not sure the EU is the right tool for it
I don't, it is risky for nations

The EU is often in the spotlight of critics and debates.

What do you think is the problem with the EU?

It's too technical, and in contrast with national governments
It's a good concept, but badly managed
It's corrupted and we soak money into it
It's a bad concept to begin with: each nation is different and should mantain its independence
There should be a European Government, with more power over national governments

The European Union has gone through many events from its foundation.

Has your position towards the EU changed in time?

I've always been pro Europe, but I'm a bit tired of the technicalities that stop the EU project
I was pro EU, now I'm totally disappointed with the bureacratic nonsense it stands for
I've always been pro EU, I think it's effective, but I'm starting to worry about the level of total expenditure to make it work
I've always been pro EU, and I always will
I am not openly against, but I perceive it as overstructure, not really effective on local problems
I've always been against EU, and I always will
