EU was 'irrelevant' in corona-crisis, many Europeans say
By EUobserver
The EU was "irrelevant" to how countries handled the pandemic, most people in France and Portugal and almost half of them in Germany, Italy, Poland, and Spain said in a survey of the European Council for Foreign Relations (ECFR). In Italy, 25 percent were more grateful for Chinese than EU aid. But at the same time, 63 percent overall believed there ought to be further EU cohesion.
