Europhiles

Lovers of Europe

Europhiles are people who admire European culture, institutions, or integration.

The term most often describes supporters of the European Union and closer ties among European nations, particularly in British political debate where Europhiles favor EU membership and cooperation: Europhiles warned that Brexit would damage the economy.

The opposite is Eurosceptic.
