[FR] A renewed fondness for Europe: Spanish public opinion and the EU

While attitudes towards the European Union had slowly recovered from the low point observed ten years earlier, from 2007 onwards, the economic crisis caused a further significant deterioration in European countries. The improvement recorded in recent years has been uneven. In general, the southern EU countries have been more severely and lastingly affected; alongside Greece’s ongoing difficulties, Italian disenchantment with the euro and persistent gloom in France despite a slight improvement are issues that the Jacques Delors Institute has recently examined.

This analysis focuses on changes in public opinion in Spain as a new government takes office – changes that, in contrast, have been marked by a clear improvement.
