Germans are more satisfied with the development of their country and are more optimistic about its future than other Europeans, according to a Bertelsmann Foundation survey published on Wednesday. The survey, which represented the European Union and its six largest member states, revealed that 59 percent of Germans are satisfied with how their country is developing. Almost three out of every four Germans believe that the EU is not moving in the right direction. By comparison, In the 2015 survey, slightly more Germans (74 percent) were pessimistic about the EU. The Bertelsmann Foundation survey results were collected from 10,755 respondents in EU countries in July 2017.
