It must be fact because I was also reading this morning that Euronews did a poll about 6 weeks ago with the citizens of France, Germany, Italy and Spain, asked "If there was a referendum about you being in the EU, what would your response be?
Italy Result - the majority voted NEGATIVE
France Result - the majority voted NEGATIVE
Spain Result - the majority voted POSITIVE
Germany Result - MIXED RESULT.
This poll was apparently taken weeks before the Covid-19 Fund debacle and the results of the poll brought absolute shock to the EU. Hence their desperation to get it sorted and quickly. No doubt they also thought that time was the perfect opportunity to use Covid as cover for further infestation of the 27 with their mutualisation statement.
I also read that there are sounds of discontent coming out from Ireland as well, with some politicians asking if it is worth the cost to them of being in the EU?
All the above and the EU desperates still march merrily onwards with their mutualisation plans, and obviously without a thought or care in how this will affect the 27.
It looks as though the wheels are coming off the bandwagon quicker than I thought.

Thank you for the summary. Personally I am not surprised about the result. If we had a legally binding referendum about DEEXIT in Germany I would vote leave. For gods sake we dont have any because I think that such a decision ist way too complex to be made by average people.
But I like the idea of the EU and I would like to see some reforms which will (in my opinion) not be seen. Therefore DEEXIT and maybe FREXIE, NEEXIT, ITALEXIT and whatever could be the right impulse for the EU to reform and then reunite with DE, IT, NE.
I really like BREXIT because the UK has taken a difficult decision by average people. If anybody in this forum was willing to agree (which unfortunately is not the case when it comes to agreing on anything) then we could agree that we all have to wait for some time until we really see the outcome of BREXIT.
If everything that was promised and what is advertised here comes true (which I assume), then the UK can act as a perfect role model for other EU members to re-think their membership.
And we all know that the UKs future after 2020 will be more than bright. Ok, not all of us know that or at least not all of us agree on that, but personally I am very sure that the UK must be envied for having left, and having such a great future.
If that wasn't the case I am afraid I would not know because nobody would admit that. Don't get me wrong but this is what I learned from reading Brexit forums for some time.
