Abstract
In crisistijd komen onderliggende gevoelens duidelijker naar boven dan in normale tijden. Deze coronaweken laten een merkwaardige houding van de Nederlandse regering en overheidsinstanties tevoorschijn komen: hun scepticisme tegenover hun mede EU-lidstaten, in dit geval vooral Italië. Er is nog amper een woord van solidariteit gevallen, er zijn vooral denigrerende uitlatingen, over bijvoorbeeld de hygiëne op Italiaanse scholen. Buiten het feit dat dit soort uitspraken op z’n minst onsympathiek over komen, zijn het uitingen van wat in de politicologie horizontaal euroscepticisme wordt genoemd.
In times of crisis, underlying feelings emerge more clearly than in normal times. These corona weeks show a curious attitude from the Dutch government and government agencies: their scepticism towards their fellow EU member states, in this case especially Italy. There has barely been a word of solidarity, mainly derogatory statements, for example about hygiene in Italian schools. Beyond the fact that these statements are unpleasant – to say the least – they are also expressions of what in political science is sometimes called horizontal Euroscepticism.
