As Euronews correspondents spoke to European citizens in Brussels about their main concerns ahead of the EU vote, it became clear that the economy, migration, and climate are top issues on their minds. According to Boyd Wagner, chief analyst of the Euronews Polls Centre, the economy is a major concern for Europeans as they prepare to choose their next representatives.
In addition to economic concerns, migration remains a hot topic for residents across all European countries. One Irish man expressed frustration with the housing and cost of living crisis in his country, emphasizing that politicians, especially those in the European Parliament, need to take these issues seriously.
For others, climate change is a top priority. A German teacher highlighted the importance of working towards climate neutrality within the European Union and making climate awareness socially acceptable. She believes that it is crucial for the EU to take concrete steps towards addressing climate change.
Overall, European citizens are deeply invested in issues that impact their daily lives and the future of the continent. It is clear that the outcome of the EU vote will have a significant impact on addressing these concerns and shaping the future of Europe.
