Speaking as a French, the attachment to Europe is ambiguous because many especially on the left are very pro-European (for shared culture, science, regulations, etc.) but also very against EU in its current form, which is built on a neoliberal doctrine. These map can lead to confusion between this group and the traditional eurosceptics that are against Europe as a concept for nationalistic concerns for people from countries where liberal economics are more accepted and so the distinction between Europe as a concept and the current shape of EU institutions is less relevant.

What regional division was used and how were respondents asked?
Because if anyone in Sweden was asked if they felt more attached to their identity as someone from their NUTS 2 region (which is **never** used in Sweden but is very popular for Europe-wide polls for some reason) and their country obviously they would pick their country.

I reckon i couldve named about two thirds of the boue regions without looking.
Not a lot of surprise here

Any federal country will have more people attache themselves to theie regions tho.
All of Austria should be blue. Peopl3 from (especially) Vienna, Lower Austria and Upper Austria are just as attach3s to being from there than the redt of austrians.

Gotta admit, Budapest feeling more Euro than Europe itself kinda tracks. It’s the ultimate vibe upgrade.

People from Moravian-Silesian more attached to the country? I remember seeing a similiar map some time ago where we were the only part of the Czech republic more attached to the region, which seemed much more plausible. Not that I wouldn’t believe that South Moravians and South Bohemians are more attached to the region than the country, that tracks, but I think the situation here is much the same, I would have to put some doubt on this whole map.

Not surprised at all to see places like bavaria, catalonia, and brittany completely maxed out on “region”. they really don’t care about the rest of their country tbh.

False map. Cork people are way more attached to their county than they are to Ireland

I would like to know how this data was collected. I live in Bayern, and if I see a flag hanging, it’s always a Bayern flag, not a German one. It’s surprising to see so much of Ober and Niederbayern in the orange colour.

it’s because of Orban making Hungarians ashamed of their country

These maps are too crude. I can believe my province is country oriented, but my region is very clearly region oriented, by a long shot

I will not possibly in any way believe that sicilians or campanians have 1% chance of feeling more italian than sicilian
It’s just completely insane

UK would be region. Everyone pretends their subdivision (England, Scotland etc) is an actual country

I like all these “the map is wrong because i feel it should be different” comments.
Budapest is probably the only region because the stance towards Europe/EU is a heavily politicised issue in Hungary over the last years

How do you determine this?

Why isn’t there a “Decreased its attachment to Europe compared to 2021” label/data point? Is the implication that one can only increase one’s attachment to Europe?
Buff1965 on
That’s because the EU was the only thing protecting them from Orban and Putin.

P.S. This is a very reductive survey. It’s possible to have more than one identity. In fact, that’s the norm.
