e.u. activist and the vice president of the european movement a lobbying association promoting dialogue about the e.u. between politics and civil society i asked about the growing worry about a no deal breck's it so nobody knows really what is going on in westminster these states so what are we going to have is for sure commission member states of the e.u. would 27 who will have a clear line what can harm the e.u. as such so they will try to avoid the. brics that and the brics that movement is just one example of the e.u. sentiment that's that's growing and the entire block. how strong is citizen support for the e.u. . you know the last results for projections for someone to another learns show that there is so much. for your approach so the the real threat is there of course but in the end of the day i guess that especially brics it made people thinking about what it means when you get a lot of the e.u. a lot of. others euro skeptic governments and italy and hungary how does you plan to deal with that in the future. nobody of these mentioned governments wants to leave the e.u. the e.u. is a
