behind the numbers, a strange paradox – L’Express

behind the numbers a strange paradox – LExpress

What feeling will you feel, Sunday June 9, when you place your ballot in the box during the European elections? Hope, anger, disillusionment? Opinion survey after opinion survey, the European glass remains desperately half empty for the 45 million French people registered on the electoral lists. In a recent Eurobarometer, they are even mostly pessimistic about the fate of the 27 member countries, the highest score in the European Union.

Never mind, the disenchantment has its reasons which L’Express has chosen not to ignore. In this new long format, we asked Olivier Costa and Thierry Chopin, both political scientists and specialists in Europe, to make a diagnosis of this “French exception”. Their analyzes can be found on our site, and all our social networks.
