After decades of declining #VoterTurnout in #EuropeanParliament elections, we can now notice a reversal of this trend. It also gives confidence that respondents of a recent survey expressed a more positive view about the #EU: 📍 Particularly, we've seen an increase in the number of participants who believe the EU is moving in the right direction. 📍 Furthermore, respondents have indicated a deeper appreciation for the Union's role in promoting prosperity, stability, and cooperation within member countries. 📍 Finally, confidence in the European Parliament's role and effectiveness is strengthened. 💡 Find more insights from our research: ➡ https://lnkd.in/dJ6kghpZ #RolandBerger #UseYourVote

Just out ahead of EU elections, a look at views of the European Union in 9 member states (with bonus data from the U.S., UK and Turkey)! The survey, conducted over the spring, shows generally positive attitudes towards the EU, but there has been some slippage in favorable ratings of the organization since 2022. Important to note for upcoming elections: Those on the political left generally have more favorable views of the EU than those on the right.

Last month's European Union Parliamentary elections were conducted fairly and peacefully, but they were not wholly immune from a wave of election-related disinformation. GDI observed narratives that aimed to undermine democratic processes, spread hostile conspiracy theories about key institutions and individuals, and benefit foreign actors like Russia by weakening support for the bloc. These narratives continue to pose a threat to democracy even after the polls have closed. In order to safeguard future elections, policymakers should take note of lessons learned in the aftermath of this latest round. GDI's new report details the kinds of disinformation narratives and tactics most successful in these elections, as well as an analysis of current and proposed policy measures to fight election disinformation.
