PARIS (Reuters) - Europeans' interest in the upcoming European Parliament election is significantly higher than before the last vote five years ago, according to an EU poll released on Wednesday, with poverty, health, jobs and defence seen as top campaign issues.
Sixty percent of respondents said they were very or somewhat interested in the vote, which takes place between June 6 and 9, compared to 49% before the 2019 election, the Eurobarometer survey found.
