When you string people along for decades and still deny them entry to Schengen, are you actually surprised they are a bit alienated from the rest of you?
What does Schengen have to do with Russia‘s invasion or social media?
If you dont like the EU, you are more likely to find anti EU posts on social media to be factual. If you like the EU more, you are more likely to find these posts to lie.
Hardly anyone validates the information. They just compare it to their current feelings about an issue. Move the feelings and you move the interpretation of the information, irrespective of whether specific pro- or anti-EU content was factual or not.
In so far i would also not conclude from these surveys, that Bulgarians are more likely to fall for propaganda or people from other EU countries to be less likely falling for it.
“Eurobatometer” does not mean that the questions are about the EU specifically.
