pro-EU
Favoring European integration
Pro-EU means supporting the European Union, its institutions, and continued membership or integration.
The term appears frequently in British political discourse, especially around Brexit: pro-EU voters, a pro-EU stance.
It contrasts with Eurosceptic or anti-EU positions.
Someone who is pro-EU generally favors European cooperation, free movement, and shared governance.
