Trust in the European Union among Bulgarians remains stable, a sociological survey of Gallup commissioned by Konrad-Adenauer Foundation shows. The image of the EU did not suffer from the Covid-19 crisis. Awareness of the Recovery Plan for Europe is low, which is detrimental to confidence in Brussels. Nearly two-thirds of all Bulgarians think that the EU is needed, especially in this crisis. The majority of the respondents are firm supporters of democracy, but two-fifths of the surveyed nationals do not consider democracy appropriate in crisis management like the current one. 51% of the respondents want the EU to undertake common actions to exit the crisis. 46% think that a nation state should be at the forefront. 81% of the respondents say that limiting the spread of the epidemic is everyone’s responsibility.
