A recent poll reveals that 68% of Europeans consider that the continent has "lost normality" and point to a significant deterioration in the European situation. This data reflects a growing sense of concern among European citizens regarding the current state of Europe.
The study indicates there is growing distrust towards current European leaders. Citizens show little confidence that rulers will be able to achieve the ambitions necessary to address the continent's challenges.
Despite this distrust, Europeans continue to desire a stronger, more autonomous continent better capable of responding to the major crises they face. This aspiration remains present among the population, even in the face of scepticism regarding current leadership.
The gap between citizens' ambitions and the trust placed in leaders constitutes one of the main challenges identified by the poll, highlighting the need for greater alignment between the expectations of the European population and the response capacity of their rulers.
