- Please find citations from reliable sources that back up this claim. Europe Elects is not a reliable source, it is a polling aggregator. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 15:42, 18 July 2026 (UTC)
- Supporting EU membership in future? ~2026-40336-16 (talk) 15:44, 18 July 2026 (UTC)
- I can't really tell what you're saying because your English does not seem to be great, but if you want "pro-Europeanism" to be included anywhere in the article you should find a reliable source that backs this claim up. As I've said, Europe Elects is not a reliable source. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 15:46, 18 July 2026 (UTC)
