Hungary Would Join EU Again
I have just found an interesting public opinion poll result by Publicus Instiute, a Hungarian pollster and research company. It turns out that although Hungarian knew little about the EP elections, in general, they trust the EU. Hungary has joined the EU in 2004 after a referendum with overwhelming support. Five years on, accession would get a 74:26 majority a referendum if it was asked again. 53% of the people think that it is favorable that Hungary is in the EU during the current economic crisis, while 25% believes in the opposite. Although 49% thinks that Hungary is too small to achieve its national goals, 66% percent believes that we should have our voice heard and follow the national interest. (The poll was conducted in April 2009).
