Common defense and immigration: the survey on what European voters will vote for
Polling Europe-Swg data. Many expect a high percentage of citizens not to vote

This is what emerges from the European survey carried out by Polling Europe in collaboration with Swg. Many expect, at least here in Italy, a high percentage of citizens who will not go to vote. But according to the Polling-Swg survey, instead, compared to the 52 percent of Europeans in Italy, 56 percent consider them ‘potentially disruptive’ as in Germany. For the 39 percent, however, there is no difference compared to those of the past.
