RIGA - The number of Latvian residents with a negative opinion about the European Union increased in June, a poll revealed.
In May, 20 percent of respondents said the EU was a “bad thing,” while in June the figure rose to 25.5 percent, said the European Union Information Agency. These respondents were mostly people living in Latvia’s central region of Zemgale, non-Latvians, unemployed persons and those older than 55.
In May, 36 percent of respondents said the EU was a “good thing” while in June that figure dropped to 30 percent. This included young people aged 18-24, persons with higher education, Latvians, residents of the country’s western region, Kurzeme and people from rural areas.
The number of undecided people remained greatly unchanged.
More bad news for Chirac and Schroeder. If they were not such jackasses one could almost feel sorry for them.
Latvia. Isn't that where that taxi driver was from? Even they know.
