Almost
two-thirds of Germans are dissatisfied with the current situation in
the European Union and want to see changes in the bloc, while about
half of them even want to hold a referendum on Germany’s EU
membership, a recent survey shows.
About
62 percent of German citizens believe that the European Union “is
heading in the wrong direction,” a survey conducted by the TNS
Infratest Politikforschung market research and analysis group says.
The
survey also shows that 67 percent of Germans want the EU to change
its political course.
When
it comes to what Germans would specifically like to be changed about
the EU, an overwhelming majority (about 96 percent) want the bloc to
be “more transparent and closer to the people.”
Only
39 percent of Germans see Germany’s EU membership as a strictly
positive thing, while almost half tend to believe that its membership
has both significant positive and negative aspects. As many as 42
percent of German citizens indicated they would like to hold a
referendum on Germany’s EU membership.
