“It is obvious that the referendum would have been won on membership in the European Union and NATO, but I am not a supporter of that. Especially when it comes to NATO. Yes, this referendum will be won. With what account? Well, if you rely on social research data, then this is about 70%. But, in general, about half of the population consistently supports NATO, less.
This gap is because NATO supporters are going to go to this referendum, but opponents are not going to. But if there is a campaign against it, they can also go.
