A study based on 5,800 interviews across six European countries reveals that while 73% of respondents desire a strong and united Europe, 68% perceive a general deterioration in its current state, and only 12% view it as a time of renewal. Major challenges identified include war (43%), economic pressures (33%), and the need for greater international autonomy (29%), with 74% believing Europe is not effectively addressing these issues and 56% feeling its future is "in danger." Although there is significant ambition for European unity and integration, the study highlights an "imagination gap," as many struggle to envision a credible path to a stronger Europe, according to study author Paweł Zerka.
