"Madam President, according to data on the portal
only 52% of Europeans trust the European Parliament as an institution. This is a 3% reduction compared to the figures for last year. The proportion of voters that still have not decided whether to vote in this year’s elections to the European Parliament is as high as 50%. Only 30% of those surveyed stated that they intended to vote in the elections. The percentage of voters who will not turn out because they feel their vote will not make a difference is as high as 68%.
I therefore wish to pose a question. Is the European Parliament planning some spectacular last-minute action to persuade people to vote? Are we somehow going to extend the remit of information channels for Europe? In my country, no debate whatsoever on Europe is taking place. The Prime Minister is doing nothing about it. Is everyone else simply to stand and watch?"@en1
