Austriaci a favore di una maggiore indipendenza dagli Stati Uniti

Translation:

A large proportion of the Austrian population (60 per cent) would like to see the EU become more independent from the USA under President Donald Trump. More than half of Austrians (55 per cent) even see Trump’s presidency as a threat to Europe, according to a survey published today by the Gallup Institute. Only a fifth of respondents expect positive developments for the EU during Trump’s term of office.

A further fifth assume that there will be no significant impact. Only 32 per cent of the 1,000 respondents are in favour of compromises with Trump, including a particularly high proportion of FPÖ supporters (50 per cent).

When asked whether they could imagine no longer buying US products as a protest against Trump’s trade and customs policy, 71 per cent of respondents answered in the affirmative (39 per cent of whom said “yes, definitely” and 32 per cent “rather yes”). However, 20 per cent rule out such a step.

Consumer dependence on digital services
As far as digital services from the USA are concerned, the picture is different: at best, 45 per cent of respondents would do without social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and X. For 47 per cent, it is conceivable that they would no longer shop on online shopping platforms such as Amazon and eBay.

53 per cent say they could do without streaming services such as Netflix. According to the survey, the loss of AI applications such as ChatGPT and Alexa would be the least painful: two thirds of respondents consider these technologies to be dispensable.

There is a clear generational difference in all of these services – the younger the respondents, the less willing they are to do without them. A holiday trip to the USA – during Trump’s time in office – is currently out of the question for 60 per cent of the population, and only a third would be prepared to do so.

Austrians are smart

Aren’t we all?!?

Not in the least surprising that among FPÖ voters, a large percentage is in favour of Krasnov. The FPÖ is really not much more anymore than the right extreme hand of Putin in Austria. What I find surprising is that even among them only 50% openly agree with the Russian directive, which is of course in stark contradiction to Austria’s national interest.
