Pro-Europeanism, sometimes calledEuropean Unionism,^[1]^[2] is a political position that favoursEuropean integration and membership of theEuropean Union (EU).^[3] The opposite of Pro-Europeanism isEuroscepticism.

Political position

  51–60%

Pro-Europeans are mostly classified ascentrist (Renew Europe) in the context of European politics, includingcentre-right liberal conservatives (EPP Group) andcentre-left social democrats (S&D andGreens/EFA). Pro-Europeanism is ideologically closely related to theEuropean and Globalliberal movement.^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]

Pro-Europeans often argue that EU membership has specific benefits for member nations such as that the EU encourages economic prosperity among members, that it promotes peace and stability in member states, that it encourages social progress among member states, that the EU gives countries greater leverage on the world stage compared to countries not in the EU, and that Europeans have shared values and identity. They also argue that these benefits outweigh commoncriticisms and issues of the EU for member states.^[9]^[10]^[11]
