47% of French People Hold an Unfavorable View of the EU, Up Four Points From 2024

Nearly half of France’s population holds an unfavorable view of the European Union, according to the latest results, with 47% expressing a negative opinion. The figure represents a four-percentage-point increase from the 2024 results, signaling a gradual shift in public sentiment. The findings may reflect concerns about economic conditions, national sovereignty, immigration and the EU’s policy direction. However, the result does not indicate that most French people reject European cooperation. Further polling could clarify the reasons behind the changing perception.
