Building Civic Resilience: Challenges and Solutions in Central Europe
12 December 2024
Slovakia was the first country after the 2004 enlargement to adopt the euro and had historically high support for Brussels, but now it’s one of the most Eurosceptic. What happened with these pro-European sentiments?
In the last Eurobarometer poll conducted in October and November, it is clearly noticeable that Slovakia is falling way behind the average of positive thinking about membership in the European Union, with only 44 per cent of the population viewing it as a good thing and 47 per cent of people viewing it as neither a good nor bad thing. On the other hand, we see Hungary with 61 per cent of support despite the constant bickering with Brussels.
Missing European identity
In less than 20 years, Slovakia has transformed from a nation that entered the EU in 2004 with the highest enthusiasm of all the candidate nations to one of the most anti-EU nations. Focusing on the ongoing situation in Slovakia, we can now see that the Union is used as a scapegoat for politicians all over the spectrum.
