You used the term Mutti. I know in Hessen colloquial Deutsche they apply the word when they refer to their mother. Is that what the “Germans” are calling her ?
"Shocking results of the latest poll by the EU Barometer, a poll of all 28 member states that is taken every other year, show that fewer than half of the EUs citizens trust the bloc.
The report showed that only 42 per cent have confidence in the European Union. The number of citizens who do not trust Brussels is at 48 per cent."

And they jigger the poll results by including the 28 members plus the five candidate countries (which it would be fair to assume will have a more positive view of the EU?).
The 28 European Union (EU) Member States, five candidate countries (the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey, Montenegro, Serbia and Albania) and the Turkish Cypriot Community in the part of the country that is not controlled by the government of the Republic of Cyprus.
