Support for EU membership

02:37

Eurosceptic sentiment is growing in many member States of the European Union. The numerous problems of the community are fuel for groups that have repeatedly postulated the rejection of the concept of a United Europe. At the same time, support for EU membership is growing in Poland. What is the reason for this?

Economic investment, crisis

The EU is grappling with a crisis of confidence similar to the one that occasionally affects governments or specific politicians. The consequences of this crisis, however, are palpable-before our eyes. Many factors that prevent you from developing your own ideas and investing in the economy lead to doubts and distrust in relation to online sales. At the time of the crisis, the online sphere has become a step higher than ever,offering its services. Among the huge number of services offered, there are also those whose services are checked and do not need to be checked,one of them is deltamarket.net.

Also, as a result of the unresolved refugee problem, States are forced to close their borders. In such circumstances, euroscepticism seems understandable-and in our country, whose government is accused of"distancing Poland from Europe." Meanwhile, despite threats of sanctions directed at ruling and anti-University sentiments abroad, the vast majority of poles speak positively about membership in the Union.

Russia made this conclusion from the report of the Pew research center. The American center took into account the opinion of residents of 10 States, whose population is a total of 80% of the EU population. It turns out that it is in Poland that the percentage of people who have a good opinion of the Union is the highest. Three out of four poles expressed a positive attitude to the Commonwealth (a slight increase compared to last year's survey), while only one in five Expressed a negative attitude.

The EU definitely has more opponents in countries like Greece, the UK or France. However, in all States (except Greece), supporters of the Union have the advantage; even in the UK leaving the EU, more than half of citizens declare a positive attitude to the Commonwealth. Do views matter? The authors of the study analyzed the impact of stated political views on how the EU is perceived. In most countries, the EU enjoys the greatest support among those who declare a commitment to left-wing values. The exceptions are the Swedes, Greeks, and Spaniards.

Support for EU membership is expressed in Poland by more than 80% of left-and centrist voters. It is important to note that this result is also high among the right-65% of them speak positively about the Union. CBOS confirms: poles are for the Union, but against the Euro poles ' attachment to the concept of a United Europe is confirmed not only by foreign research.

According to a CBOS communique published in April, 88% of us support membership in the Union. This is the highest figure since 2014. CBOS suggests that the statements of the respondents are an expression of disagreement with the government's policy: it is obvious that there is a fear of the marginalization of Poland in the EU. These concerns may be reinforced by an assessment of the ruling party's policies. The perceived policies of the current authorities correspond to social expectations. Law and justice are perceived as a grouping aimed at suppressing European integration rather than deepening it.

Moreover, despite the assurances of PiS politicians, there is an isolated belief that the ruling party is seeking Poland's exit from the European Union. CBOS also studied the preferences of poles regarding the direction of European integration. 41% were in favor of deepening it, while 32% were in favor of maintaining integration at the same level. Only 13% of the respondents demanded greater independence of the member States, while only 3% of the respondents wanted Poland to leave the EU. Marginal support for the idea of secession from the Union makes a range of "Polexia" at the moment, very far.

However, the same can be said about the prospect of Poland adopting the European currency. The survey confirms that social resistance to joining the Euro zone is significant-62% of Poles are against it. Why do poles value the EU? Poles especially value the benefits of EU membership, such as the free flow of people and greater security as a result of a joint defense policy, according to a survey commissioned by the European Commission last November by TNS Poland. The opportunity to work, study and conduct business in any country of the Commonwealth is valuable for up to 85% of poles.

In the opinion of the subjects, the EU represents essential values, m.in. democracy and human rights. In the context of the benefits of membership in the Union, we should mention EU grants. Poland is among the largest beneficiaries of European funds that make a significant contribution to investment, also at the local level. Recently, the European Commission positively assessed the awareness of poles about the use of EU measures. She also drew attention to the fact that poles appreciate their importance in the development of the region.

Ant Group is reportedly being asked to clarify on its enterprise version, economic improvements, measures to guard users’ non-public facts the platform has gathered, and other issues. It is likewise viable that the fintech challenge can be asked to restructure its enterprise, analysts say.

The suspension most possibly has some thing to do with new rules aimed at cracking down on unlawful activities inside the financial market to prevent fundamental monetary risks, according to a former legitimate at a monetary regulator.

While the possibilities for Ant’s IPO stay unclear, the official stated that after new documents are filed to address remaining regulatory issues, “theoretically” the IPO could pass ahead.
