An analysis by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) reveals that Europeans consider that the continent "lost normality" and show a lack of trust in political leaders. The study indicates that Europeans still maintain dreams and aspirations for Europe's future, but don't place hope in the politicians who should achieve these visions.
The report proposes a different approach to communicating with citizens, suggesting that instead of presenting "big dreams", European leaders should focus on presenting a clear "trajectory" of changes. This strategy would be more effective in convincing citizens classified as "uncertain" in the European political landscape.
The ECFR analysis comes in a context of growing public distrust in the continent's institutions and political leaders, reflecting a credibility crisis that affects the capacity for mobilization and support for European initiatives.
