The countdown for the European parliamentary elections has just begun and Antonio Tajani, the EP’s president, marked the date with an event where the EP published the latest Eurobarometer results. The poll signalled mixed feelings from citizens about the EU. A big majority thinks the EU membership is a good thing. For 60% EU membership is a good thing, while 25 % think it is neither a good nor a bad thing and 12 % think it is a bad thing. The press asked Mr. Tajani if he expected that in the next European Parliament there would be more eurosceptical lawmakers, and if yes, why? "Probably yes. But we need to work hard during this year for paving the way for a pro-european parliament. We need good answers, because the problem is not the party. The problem is why a lot of citizens want to vote for this parties," he said. But people also like emerging populist and eurosceptical parties. The poll says Europeans think they can bring about change and new solutions.
