Hungarian voters tell Euronews they are sceptical about what voting in the upcoming European Elections can accomplish.

Transcript

00:00 Hungarian public media dominates the election campaign for the European Parliament.

00:05 Many form their image of the EU on this basis.

00:09 Among voters we interviewed in southern Hungary,

00:12 we met some who do not believe that an election can change anything,

00:16 and others who said many didn't have the time to be properly informed.

00:22 We have to create an opinion, we have to talk about it,

00:25 I don't know, at home, I don't know, but this is not how it works.

00:29 It's not a circus to put up a poster on every corner,

00:32 and then, "Okay, this is it, because this is what everyone says."

00:35 Many people here would not vote.

00:38 I have spoken to many people who would not vote.

00:41 I don't know.

00:42 No, we don't care.

00:44 They say it can't be changed.

00:47 Some say younger people are the ones who care about EU politics.

00:51 Many people think they know who they are, and they don't talk about it.

00:55 I say it again, I see that the younger people are more open to their opinion.

01:02 This isn't true for all.

01:03 How much do you follow EU politics?

01:05 Not much, honestly, not much.

01:09 And you're not interested at all?

01:11 Not really, not really.

01:14 How old are you?

01:16 19.

01:17 We spoke to someone who believes it is vital for as many people as possible to vote on the 9th of June.

01:23 Think about it, what does a person want to do in Hungary?

01:30 Hungary is a place in Europe, within Europe.

01:34 We are European.

01:35 Where do you think Hungary should be?

01:37 In Europe.

01:38 Are we still there at the moment?

01:41 We are still there.

01:46 Thank you.

01:47 Thank you.
