Here in Czechia it's tiring, constantly hearing what bad bad things the EU has done and most of the time if you dig a little it turns out it was our own government that did it.

Pro-EU parties make up the majority of our parlament (Bulgaria) but the vocal far-right party keeps growing election after election. Their whole sentiment is that we need to keep our neutrality and side with Russia(neutral innit?) and the ongoing war isn't our problem...except Bulgarians are dying over there too, we have a sizable minority living in Ukraine and Moldova.

Oh and we're the oldest people in Europe apparently and the Bulgarian spirit will soon be awoken to crush the euro-atlanic imperialists?

Yeah. Populism is one hell of a drug.
